Preface.
ihe Turkish language is of Tartar origin, as the
Turks came from Central Asia, and is consequently
quite distinct from Arabic and Persian, although it is
true that in modern times the Arabic characters have
been adopted for all three languages, and that the
Turkish language is now half filled with Arabic and
Persian words. Yet these words have been incorporated
without affecting the nature or framework of the Turkish,
which is as different from Arabic and Persian as Anglo-
Saxon dialects are from Hebrew or Hungarian. In fact
pure Turkish is Turanian, while Arabic is Semitic and
Persian Aryan, and the resulting modern Ottoman-Tur-
kish is compounded not only of three languages but
of representatives of the three great families of lan-
guages. The original Turkish tongue, which is called
Chaghata (Jagatai), was somewhat barbarous, but extreme-
ly forcible and concise when spoken. The adoption of
Arabic and Persian words is arbitrary. To master the
language it is necessary to have at least an elementary
knowledge of the Arabic and Persian languages.
It is an extraordinary and lamentable fact that
the language of the Turks has hitherto received little or
no attention in England, although it is spoken by mil-
lions of people belonging to a vast empire with which
we are closely connected by mutual vital interests, and
is more or less used, in official circles, from Tunis in
Africa to the walls of China. It is the court language
of Persia, and in many provinces of that country, of
South Russia and Afghanistan is spoken as much

as Persian. It is difficult to account for the absolute
neglect of the study of such an important language, con-
sidering that it is used by a people who once influenced
half the world, who overturned and established empires,
who have possessed the thrones of Persia, Greece, Egypt
and Arabia; whose power was once dreaded by Italy,
Germany and France, and to whom our proud Queen
Elizabeth applied for aid against the Spanish Armada.
The Turkish has always been of the greatest consequence
to us, owing to the importance of our political and com-
mercial relations with the Ottoman Empire, and the
complete ignorance of it on the part of our country-
men has greatly impeded proper communication and
intercourse between the two nations and given rise to
most serious misunderstandings and difficulties both
in the diplomatic and commercial world. [Br. Ch. Wells.)
Besides, not a small body of earnest men from
the great Anglo-Saxon republic of the Trans-Atlantic
continent have long been established in Constantinople
and in the provinces of Turkey, labouring to unfold
the treasures of modern science, temporal and spiritual,
to the people of Turkey; losing no opportunity to place
themselves in friendly communication both with the
governing Ottoman element and with the numerous
races and religious denominations subject to the Im-
perial sway.
To meet the need of the representatives of these
two great nationalities in Turkey, there arose the ne-
cessity for conversation-books, grammars and lexicons.
There have appeared a number of Turkish grammars
and other books in the English language, but they seem
little fitted to acquaint the learner fully with Turkish,
chiefly because they are not sufficiently practical in the
strict sense of the word, or they are composed only of
rules. The appearance of a new Ottoman-Turkish Gram-
& Preface «o.jJU Mouqadd&mi. V
mar which combines in itself the theoretical and the
practical elements of the language, it is expected will
be cheerfully welcomed.
The so-called Conversation-method, originated by
Drs. Gaspey and Otto, is now applied for the first time
by the writer of this present book to the Ottoman-Tur-
kish language also. It is his mother tongue and besides
for more than 20 years he has practised this method
in teaching the language in an important American
institution to the natives of Turkey and to English-
speaking foreigners. Therefore his own experience enables
him to speak with some little authority on this subject.
He thinks he has introduced a new element too in the
Gaspey-Otto conversation-method, by inserting the word
exercises which appear on pp. 121 — 125, 215, 256 etc.
The First Part of this work is devoted to conver-
sational language and in it all the peculiarities of the
language are given in a very easy and comprehensive
way. The study of the First Part being finished it will
soon be seen that Turkish is a very regular language,
and that it is far more easy than is generally thought.
In the Second Part the elements of the Persian
and Arabic languages are treated of as they are used in
Ottoman -Turkish, and all the difficulties of both lan-
guages are explained, in a concise way. This is the
Literary and Official language. There are then added
some very valuable matters and a vocabulary.
As to the Exercises and Reading Lessons for
translation, most of them are on subjects referring to
Turkey and Turkish literature. Many characteristic speci-
mens of poetry and prose illustrative of the literature
and of the country, especially in modern phraseology,
are given, so that the learner will feel himself in Turkey,
and will have a glimpse into the geography, the hist-
ory and the manners and customs of the country.

VI Preface <ujJU Mouqqadd&ne. j
I recommend as a help to the student the excel-
lent Turkish-English Dictionary of Sir J. Redhouse and
the valuable Turkish Dictionary of Samy Bey, which
latter is the most reliable guide to the student after
finishing the First Part of this Grammar. And as a
purely Turkish Grammar I recommend that of Mihran
Effendi Apigian (Mihri), to which I am much indebted.
1 am much indebted also to Rev. Dr. W. St Clair-
Tisdall, the C. M. S. missionary at Ispahan, Persia,
who has carefully revised the MS. and has made valuable
suggestions. Himself being a ripe scholar in the lan-
guage, these have been of great service to me.
I must also express my sincere thanks to Dr. J.
Wright, of Oxford, for the kindness and care with which
he has looked over the proofs of this work.

§ 2. The letters of the Ottoman -Turkish Alphabet
are 32 in number, and consist of 28 Arabic letters,
together with some which the Persians have added
(^3 - ,_,). The Turks, as most other Oriental nations,
read and write from right to left, instead of from left
r Letters of the Alphabet. 3
to right as we do; and a book consequently begins
where it would end in English. Capital letters are
unknown, and the punctuation marks have been adopted
recently. They are the same as in English.
§ 3, There are four kinds of writing:
I. Riqd, which is the ordinary current handwriting-
used in letters and in all kinds of civil and official
documents.
II. Nesikh: is the common print of books, news-
papers etc.
III. Divanee, is a style of large handwriting used
in the Imperial Chancery for engrossing letters-patent.
IV. Taliq, is the Persian model of Arabic characters,
it is used by Persians, and also in documents of the
Ottoman Canonical court. Examples of these and other
forms of rarer occurence are given at the end of this work.
§ 4. There is always more or less difficulty in
representing the sounds of one language by those of
another. This is true also in the case of the Ottoman-
Turkish language. It belongs to a family or group of
tongues different from the English, possessing sounds
entirely foreign to English ears. To express these sounds,
we have made some modifications of some of the English
vowels and consonants. It is necessary to master these
sounds before going on. They must be pronounced
fully; all having only one regular sound. For instance:
a has only one sound, and not five or more as in Eng-
lish: e has only one, as in pet. though the name itself
will cause some blunder. €, o, u also have only one
sound each.
There are eight vowel sounds in Turkish.
§ 5. The vast population of Turkey, especially the
Christians, do not all use the Ottoman characters in
their writing. The Armenians and the Greeks have
adapted them to their characters. There are books and
papers in Turkish, in Armenian and Greek characters.
published in Constantinople. Most of the Englishmen
and Americans, resident in Turkey, find it easier to
begin Turkish with English or Armenian characters,
and after mastering the pronunciation and the elements
of the language, they turn to begin it with the Arabic
4 Letters of the Alphabet. ^
characters, which they find very easy then. The method
adapted by ns in this work, will remove all these diffi-
culties.
Single and Double Towels.
§ 6. In reading the names in the above Table
and in pronouncing the proper sounds, written in the
English characters, the learner must always remember:
1. Not to pronounce a, as in fate, mortal or all;
but as in far, art or father.
2. e is always as e in met or send. Take care not
to pronounce it as in mere, verb or cane.
3. i is always i, as in pin or ship ; never as I, or
as in tire.
4. i must be pronounced as o in seldom and e in heaven.
5. o must not be pronounced long as in oat, prose;
but very short as in no.
6. on pronounce always as in youth, bouquet, foot;
and not as in pour, couple, about.
7. u is not as that of pure, turn, rule; it has no
equivalent in English, but is the French tu, sur.
8. eb has no equivalent in English, it is in French
feu, coeur; or German 6 in Zollner, vollig.
Compound Consonants.
§ 7. Turkish orthography does not employ com-
binations of two or three consonants and vowels to
represent a single sound; we are under the necessity,
however, of making use in this work of some combi-
nations to represent Turkish sounds, for which there is
no equivalent in English. These combinations are made
by the addition of some vowels and consonants to h or y.
kh has the sound of ch, as in the Scotch loch.
ah, as the Greek y, Armenian t_.
zh must be pronounced as z in azure.
§ 8. The combinations tch and dj, so often to be
seen in the transliteration of Turkish words, are but
French notations of the English ch and j in church
and joy.
§ 9. y must always be considered a consonant,
and never allowed to degrade the sound of any vowel
that may precede it; particular care must be taken by
e Letters of the Alphabet. 5
Englishmen in this matter. It is always as in yett,
yoke, buy.
§ 10. y is combined with other vowels to form
a diphthong as will be seen in the next Table.
ay Ex.: qaymaq; as in lime, high, I.
ey » dcymek; » » fate, prey, hey.
iy » chhj ; » » here, clear.
iy » qiyma; » » — —
oy » doymaq; » » boy, toy, going.
ouy douymaq; » » cooing, doing.
uy » guy a; » » Fr. essuyer, Gnyot.
eoy » eoyJen; » » Fr. deuil.
§11. In the transliteration of Ottoman words, h
must be emphasized at the beginning, middle and end
of words; at the end of the syllables it is generally
accented; as: Al-lah', qah've, liekim. This is a most
particular rule and requires a good deal of attention
and practice in Englishmen; as a pernicious mode of
orthography prevails among Englishmen, of intro-
ducing h mute very frequently at the beginning or end
of words; as in honest, Jehovah etc. (§ 49 V.)
R is used as in English; except that it must
never be allowed to be uttered obscurely; it must be
pronounced fully and strongly; it is generally accented
at the end of syllables. (§ 17.) Take care not to vitiate
the pure sound of any vowel that may precede it.
G is always hard; as in give, got, yet.
Numerals and Numeration by Letters.
§ 12. The numerical figures, ten in number, have
been adapted by the Ottomans from the Arabs. They
are the same that we make use of, calling them Arabic,
because we took them from the Arabs. Their forms,
however, differ considerably from thoses, which our digits

our numerals, ivr = 1902.
§ 13. The apparent strangeness of the fact that
those numbers seem to be written and read not from

right to left, but from left to right is due to the circum-
stance that, in Arabic, the smaller numbers are read
as well as written first. Thus an Arab would read
)\*r ctwo and nine hundred and a thousand'. This,
however, a Turk does not do. (§ 691.)
§ 14. If the Arabic alphabet is arranged according
to numerical values, there appeares the ancient order,
which is still used for notation and numeration. In
this order, that of the old Phoenician, Hebrew, Syriac,
Greek and Latin alphabets: the first nine letters represent
the units; the second nine the tens; the third nine the
hundreds and the last one *-, one thousand; compare
the Table of the Alphabet, ! j*e*~. ! iyjS^i. {Jz>- ! 3y* ! j^\
*Jl^ ' j£ ! zJ^t JEbjed, hevvez, hout'ti, Mlemen, safes,
qaresJiet, sakheg, dazighi. Therefore the numeration by
letters, is called Ebjed hisabi.
§ 15. The method of numeration by the letters
of the alphabet was a great task; it is fast going, if not
entirely gone, out of practice, as puerile; but formerly
great significance was attached to any combination of
letters that expresses in one or more words an event or
date. Thus ^1 2. Miarab is GOO + 200 + 1 + 2 = 803,
the Hejira date when Timurleng laid Damascus in 'ruins' ;
and ajuU Ul beldcyi tayyibe is 2 + 30 + 4 + 400 +
9 + 10 + 2 + 400 = 857, date of the year when
the 'Beautiful City', Constantinople, was taken by the
Ottomans.

Division of the Letters.
§ 16. The Ottoman alphabet is divided into four
classes: vowels; hard, soft,- and neuter letters.
V Pronunciation of Letters. 7
Vowel letters: ^ © j I, which are vowels generally,
when they are the second letter of the syllable.
Hard letters : j ^ J? i Jj ^ f r .
Soft letters : * dT 6 o* Cj ■
Neuter letters: JauJj'J^J^ ^r*-J V u
and ^ j I, when at the beginning of the syllables; as
is the case with y and w in the English language.
B1. Pronunciation of Letters.
§ 17. All the Ottoman letters in the Alphabetical Table
are considered to be consonants , except ^o I, which
are often used as vowels, and call for further elucidation.
(§ 29 ff.)
We now proceed to the phonetic value of the
consonants :
^j be has the value of English &, as: ji> bed bad, j^U
birader brother. But when ending a syllable or word,
it sometimes, anomalously, takes the value of p, as:
i^Li sharap wine, Ij&l iptida beginning. Especially is
this the case with the Gerunds in ^_>j— , as: ^jjS^
gitlip, ^>J I alip. (§ 435.)
u p4 is the English p, as: jJb peeler father.
si) te is the German t, as: jfrfr fafor a Tartar; courier.
It is sometimes changed into d in derivation when it
is originally final; as: £jf git go, j-xi^ gider he goes.
Also w^J (jto) (/('/«/> iron, <u (*o) elepe a hill.
i «e is found in Arabic words only, and is pro-
nounced as s; as: c^£ setbit firm, J\U em&iZ proverbs.
-rjim is pronounced as j, as: J\>- jcut soul.
8 Pronunciation of Letters. A
-K chim has the value of the English ch, in church ;
as: a\>- chain the pine, AU chali bush. (§ 8.)
t- ha has the harshly aspirated sound of English
h, in horse. It is chiefly used in Arabic words; as:
i^-U- ^aj£ pilgrim.
*- &7ii has no equivalent in English. It is the
counterpart of the Scotch ch in loch and German Bachc.
It is generally transliterated Mi. But there are a good
many words in which it is commonly pronounced as h,
as: 4>.\*Z. hoja teacher; 4JU- heme house.
3 dal is German <Z, as: $j$ derd.
i #a£ is found in Arabic words alone; its value
is #, as: ©ji ser're atom.
j re is in all positions a distinctly articulated lingual
r as in rain. There are two important remarks, however,
which is necessary for the English student to bear in
mind with respect to this, to him, peculiar letter. Firstly,
it must always be pronounced and accented (never
dropped or slurred over, as in the pronunciation of
part, pat); and secondly, the value of the vowel before
it in the same syllable must never be corrupted (as when
it is pronounced pot pat; for far; cur car), but always
kept pure, as with any other consonant; thus wS qor,
J& 9}r\ J>13 8&r\ not qo\ qi , za . (§ 49 V.)
3 ze is English #, as: _p gez.
3 zhe is only found in Persian and French words;
it is of the value of the English s in treasure, and is
transliterated zh; as: by''y* miizhde tidings, j^fj\ azh'der
dragon, Jfcjjj zhournal journal. It is often pronounced
^ Pronunciation of Letters. 9
J, as: j l£o} jenger verdigris, »2jjiva quicksilver, ^ujUiJ
jandarma a county policeman.
,- *iii is a soft s, always followed by a soft vowel
in all Ottoman words, as: u~* sebz word.
Jl shin is English sh, as: 1>I »s^ work.
p s«^ is a hard s, it designates a hard vowel,
as: j-L? sagh right, J^> so? left.
^ <f«^Z is used in Arabic words only. It is gener-
ally pronounced as a hard £, but sometimes as a hard
<7; thus: .Ja'j razee content, 4JL*b sapbiye a gendarme,
.>£ grade judge, ^Ul „a>- khidir elyas St. Elias.
_t £2 is pronounced as f, thus: ^^L ^; ball. But
sometimes in Turkish words it is pronounced as d.
flL (J-b) r?«r/7j mountain, ^Ljl (bjl) ocZa room.
ip «« is used in Arabic words only, as a very hard z>
thus: lit zalhn cruel.
9- ayn, I ghayn, J qaf\ il fee/. See §§ 33—36.
^i /e is the English /, in all cases, U /e>w.
J ?am is the English I, in all cases.
* mini is the English m, as: J'u »ia?.
ij noun is like the English n, as: jl* wa« bread.
But before 6e ^ it is pronounced as m. Thus *Jj
pembe light rose colour, J^tL-l istamhul Constantinople
(Stambul).
§ 18. JYbfe. The reason why so many s and p
sounds occur in Ottoman is that Arabic words intro-
10 The Orthographic Signs. ) ♦
cluced into the language have to be written as in Arabic.
In the latter tongue the sounds of u ' , »- ' -o and
again those of _k ' Jo ' 3 ' i are quite distinct from one
another, as are those of r- and a, of I and 5-. But
these distinctions are not observed by the Ottoman.
C1. The Orthographic Signs.
§ 19. There are five kinds of orthographic signs
used in Ottoman -Turkish. The vowel signs, Jezma,
Medda, Shedda and Nunation. These are put under
or over the letters.
The Vowel Signs.
§ 20. There are three kinds of vowel signs : ustun,
esre, eotre. These are named hareke 'movements'; but
by the Europeans they are commonly called vowel points.
§ 21. These three vowel signs have two values each.
I. With a soft or neuter consonant, ustun has the
value of 6; and with a hard consonant a.
II. With a soft or neuter consonant, esre has the
value of i; and with a hard consonant i.
III. With a soft or neuter consonant, eotre has the
value of &, eb; and with a hard one o, ou.
a) Hard Vowels.
§ 22. Hard vowels are used with hard letters.
I. TJstun is a diagonal stroke drawn from right
to left, placed above the letter thus — ; it indicates
that the hard letter over which it is placed, is to be
followed in pronunciation by a, as in English bar, star.
3 t L -k ^ ^ ^ t c
Key. Ha ustun ha, khi ustun Ma, ayn ustun a, etc.
II. This sign — is called es-re, under hard letters
it is pronounced i, as e in heaven.
Key. Ha es-re hi, khi es-re khi, sad es-re si, etc.
1 ) The Orthographic Signs. 11
III. This sign JLi is ebtre, over the hard letters it
is pronounced o or on, as in cold, could.
> \ > * * > > >
Key. Ha ebtre /*o, /*om, khi ebtre Icho, Jchou, dad
ebtre do, don, etc.
b) Soft Vowels.
§ 23. Soft vowels are pronounced with soft or
neuter letters.
I. XI stun when put over a soft or neuter letter, is
pronounced like e, as in met.
iTe?/. Sin ustun se, kef ustun Id, gef ustun ge, etc.
II. jEsr^ when put under a soft or neuter letter, is
pronounced i, as in pit, him.
* * « . • I
Key. Mini esre mt, lam esre li, ze esre ^j, etc.
III. Eotre when put over a soft or neuter letter,
is pronounced u, eo, which have no equivalent in
English. (§ 6, 7. 8.)

The Connection of the Letters.
§ 24. The letters of the Ottoman alphabet are divided
into two other divisions : connected and unconnected letters.
12 The Orthographic Signs. ) f
I. The unconnected letters are jjj j i 3 I, which are
never joined to the following letter, and when they
occur the word is broken ; that is, the pen is taken up,
and the second part of the word is resumed unconnected.
They may be joined only to the letter preceding them,
as thus exhibited ©jbl idare (administration) ' f-£U
braqdhn (I left).
II. The connected or jolnable letters are those which
may be joined to the letters which follow or precede
them; the remaining letters are connected letters; as:
J^UA

§ 25. In dealing with the letters of the Ottoman
alphabet on the preceding pages, we have shown only the
shapes they take when standing alone; when they are
combined with other letters, they are sometimes slightly
modified, according as they stand at the beginning, in
the middle, or at the end of the word. These various
changes will be seen from the Table of the Alphabet
(P. 1 and 2).
§ 26. There is also a compound character in use,
which is always to be found inserted in alphabets, and
which, for that reason, cannot be passed over in silence.
It is the character V, called lam elif, being, in fact,
nothing more than J lam joined calligraphically to a
following I elif, in a similar manner to that whereby
the English printers continue to join the f and I in fl,
or /' and i in fi, etc. When this double character is
)r The Orthographic Signs. 13
connected with a preceding letter, it has the shape of
% as: Mj beta (evil).

Towel Letters.
§ 27. Besides the vowel signs, sometimes the vowel
letters ^6j I are used, to indicate vowel sounds.
I. Elif indicates the hard vowel ustun, provided
that it is the second letter of the syllable. Instead of
i i r is written it iL U- ; here elif is substituted
for ustun.
II. Ye, sometimes when it is the second letter of
the syllable, indicates the vowel esre. Instead of ^ J 3
is written *. J, ^3 ; here ?/e is substituted for esre.
III. Vav, generally when it is the second letter
of the syllable, indicates the eofr-e. Instead of \p J ^
is written ^ y y« ; here vav is substituted for o^re.
IV. He, when it is the second letter of the syllable
generally indicates the ustun, either hard or soft. Instead
of u j i is written *> ©j ©s ; here he is substituted for
ustun {pe, re, de).
14 The Orthographic Signs. ft
§ 28. Note. The Arabic and Persian long vowels
are represented by the Letters of Prolongation <_£ j I. These
letters correspond respectively with the vowel points:
ustun, esre, ebtre (§§ 29—31). But there are no letters
of prolongation in purely Turkish words; the use of
these letters is limited only to indicating the vowel signs,
as has been said above. Therefore they are called in
Turkish orthographic letters also, as they serve only for
the correction of the orthography.

§ 29. I Elif. There are four kinds of elif in
Ottoman :
a) The initial or hemse elif, which is a consonant,,
not a vowel. Like any of the initial consonants, it
takes the three vowel points and letters; as: ^1 et meat,
Cil it dog, Ojl ot grass (§ 38).
Xote. Initial elif is not generally indicated in
transcription, it being understood that whenever an
Ottoman word begins with a vowel, in the original it
begins with elif.
b) Orthographic or vowel elif, which stands to show
only the hard ustun vowel: it is used exclusively for
Turkish and foreign words; as: J I bal honey, ^jl
parts Paris, IjjjI avropa Europe.
c) Shortened elif, which is written generally in the
shape of £ ye, but pronounced short ; it is used only
in Arabic words; as: Vj* or J,*,* mevla God, L.Ac or
,<— p ec-sa Jesus.
d) Elongated elif, which is found only in Arabic
and Persian words; it lengthens the hard ustun vowel; as:
p. Ill pasha, a. *r*\ a meen, p. all a bad.
§ 30. j Vav. There are four kinds of vav in
Ottoman :
a) Consonantal vav, it has the phonetic value of v\ as:
y ev house, jjij vaqit time, J\ alev flame.
b) Orthographic or vowel vav, which stands for the
vowel ebtre; it is used only in Turkish and foreign
words; as: jo yol way, ©jJojl londra London.
c) Elongated vai\ which lenghtens the vowel eofn\
16 Pronunciation of Letters. n
and is found only in Arabic and Persian words; as:
p. c~< j z do st friend, a. ^y£ memnoon glad.
d) Silent vav, which is found only in some Persian
words, between the letters £• khi and I elif, and is not
pronounced; as: a»-\j>- I'haje teacher, eJ^lj^. Manendi
singer.
§ 31. ^ Ye has three sounds:
a) Consonantal ye, which has the value of the con-
sonant y, whether it be initial, medial or final, simple
or reduplicated ; as : Jj yel wind, ju* seyr looking, j>
mey wine.
b) Orthographic or vowel ye, which stands to show
only the vowel esre, it is used only in Turkish and
foreign words; as: 1J epsh winter, dnLo Dublin.
c) Elongated ye, which is used only in Arabic and
Persian words and lengthens the esre; as: p. > peer
old man, a. Jjj valee governor.
§ 32. * He has three sounds:
a) Consonantal he, which is a guttural and aspirated
as the h in horse; as: p. jU huner skill, ©^s qahve coffee.
b) Orthographic or vowel lit, which stands for
ustun; as: <u.ol asma vine, p. aJu bende slave.
The vowel he, when in the middle or at the end
of words, is never joined to the next letter in writing;
as: J^2**\f gelejeyim, a,a+^\ asmaya.
c) Substitutive he, which is changed from Zj te, and
is found only at the end of Arabic words; as: 4j15C>.
hikyaiye for *15C» hfkyaiyet story.
§ 33. J qaf, lJ lief. The Ottoman alphabet
distinguishes sharply between the hard letter qaf and
IV Pronunciation of Letters. 17
the soft letter kef. The transliteration of this present work
in accordance with the judgment of the ripest scholars,
represents the J by q and fj with A\ The common
people pronounce the qaf as ghayn at the beginning
and the middle of words, and as kJu at the end. The
kef also at the end of words is pronounced kh by the
common people. Ex.: JjU-y qochaq com. ghocliakh (brave),
oS qcin com. ghan (blood), *»l$ qayish com. ghayish (thong),
dJ>-oJio gidejek com. gedejekh (he will go).
§ 34. fj A'e/ is appropriate only to soft syllables
or words; it is so pronounced as to represent in Turkish
four different sounds; to distinguish these four sounds
the letter may be slightly modified in form. But in
general, in Ottoman, the fj alone is used to express
all four sounds, and the student can learn how to pro-
nounce it only by practice.
I. The first of these four forms is called kef or
kaif (kefi Arabia Arabic kef, by the grammarians); it is
pronounced as k. Ex. : j£ kedr blind, ^>\l.f kitab book,
j} hul ashes.
II. The second is called gef or giaf {kefi Far i si.
Persian kef, by the grammarians), and it is pronounced
as hard (j \ it is sometimes distinguished by a modi-
fication in shape, thus <T. Ex. : jjf geor see, J^f geol
lake, o gel come.
Note. When fj represents the sound either of k or of
g hard, and is followed by an Rif, it takes before the
vowel a short and incipient sound of ?', which we have
united thus m. Ex.: Jitf* ktaghid paper, \^ kiamil per-
fect, ol$^l a-gicih aware: not ka-ghid, lea-mil, a-gah; be-
cause fj being a soft letter cannot go with a hard
vowel a (§§ 22, 37).
Turkish Conv. -Grammar. 2
18 Pronunciation of Letters. tA
III. The third is called saglur kef, or nef (surd kef),
and is pronounced as ng in the words ring, sing etc. ;
it is a nasal n, and is represented by n. It is some-
times written h ^ with three dots over it. It is never
to be. found elsewhere than at the middle of Turkish
words; and consequently never can be initial. Ex.:
*J^ dents sea, *$d\t valndz alone, di;~, senin vour.
IV. The fourth is called yaf\ and is pronounced
like the English y consonant; it is found only in Turkish
words. Ex.: J> ^ deyil it is not, ^Sj^eyri crooked,
di bey prince.

§ 35. *• 9ayn. The ayn has no equivalent in
European languages; it characterizes only Arabic words.
Its phonetic value in Arabic and in the mouth of an
Arab, is a harsh guttural catch or hiatus. As pronounced
by a Turkish scholar the letter is either entirely
silent or only the slightest hiatus is perceptible. The
common people pronounce it like an elif, and there is
no harm in pronouncing so. In this work sometimes,
when necessary, the vowel sound is accompanied by
the sign p- , and it is generally marked b}T an apostrophe.
f^*A ma-lum or ma-^a-lum, lW 'a'-lem or a-fa-lem.
§ 36. f yliayn is represented by gh ; as i*1 a-gha
l^ Pronunciation of Letters. 19
or com. a-d sir, ?\* bagh vineyard, J^kc^\ ogh'lan com.
o'lan, ou-lan boy. After a vowel vav j, with the sounds
o, on, f- has very much the sound of w] like the gh
of throughout. Thus J^pjl ov-laq or ogh-Iaq kid; 4^.3
(/oi-a not «2or/7^« (a pail); Jji^> sovouq not soghouq cold;
t£y qovmaq to expel; j^Va^jI ovalamaq to rub.
§ 37. JVbte. In the transliteration of the foreign
proper names or nouns, the hard </, when followed by
a hard vowel, is represented by 9- and not by 5". Ex. :
Hugo y^yfc hou-gho, Gladstone cy-^s^ gldacVtston, guar-
dian Olojlt ghardiyaii, gazetta *te ghazeta newspaper,
gas jl& gr/ifl*.
§ 38. * Hemze. The SlifaX the beginning of words
is a consonant (§ 29), which is called hemze or hemze
elif, because naturally there is a sign of hemze over the
elif, which is not generally written. Jjl ol is originally
Jy, Jl e-ser is Jl, Jl is Jl, Ci! is ^»l .
§ 39. The combination of hemze elif with a vowel
eftjf (M) is expressed by medda, which is the vowel elif
put over the consonant hemze elif (§§ 29 d, 47) 1=1;
as: jlll = jll almaq, £j #, CJ\ = CJ or Z*\ •
§ 40. But when hemze is found in the middle of
words, if it ends the syllable, it is like an accent or
a hiatus. Ex.: jut te-e-sir influence, jj*U mr-e-mour
officer.
§ 41. At the beginning of syllables it is pro-
nounced as y consonant; as: 13 V5 qayil, jb dayir.
Note. The pronunciation of hemze and the changes
20 Other Orthographic Signs. f ♦
it undergoes, are in accordance with the rules of Arabic
Grammar.
C2. Other Orthographic Signs.
a) Jezma rj»-
§ 42. The letters in a syllable are either vowelled
or quiescent; the first letter of any syllable is naturally
vowelled, the others quiescent. The voivelled letters are
accompanied by a vowel sign, but those which are qui-
escent, are marked with the sign (°), called Jezma. Ex.:
dAl~j l/sh-Pk: the letters ^j b and J 1 are vowelled,
as they are the first letters of the two syllables; t sh
and fj Jc are quiescent; therefore marked with Jezma.
j j ¥r-¥r (barber): the two ^j bes are vowelled
and both of the j res quiescent and therefore marked.
^5C« mek-teb (school) a mini and O te are vowelled,
£J Jcef and ^ be quiescent.
§ 43. The vowel letters cannot have the mark of
quiescence, as they are substituted for the vowel signs,
and indicate their kind; as jll ballq (fish), where elif
stands for ustun, and does not need the sign.

§ 44. In most cases, indeed, the vowel points are
not inserted, except in quotations from the Qoran, or
in writing a foreign word or name, and in some poetical
works. This at first causes a little embarrassment to
the learner; he must accustom himself to pronounce
the word as if such vowels did not exist, until he can
supply them by a knowledge of the word. The diffi-
culty will vanish by dint of a little practice.
b) Shedda J^JLir
§ 45. A consonant which is to be doubled without
the interposition of a vowel, is written only once, but
marked with the sign — , which is called shed' da or
tesh-deed (strengthening). This reduplication is not a
mere matter of orthography as it is in the English
language; when a letter is doubled in writing, it must
be doubled in pronunciation, as is done in English
with the letters d, I, n in the words mid-day, mad dog,
full lij>s, thin nose.
22 Other Orthographic Signs. rr
§ 46. The sign shedda belongs only to Arabic
(700), in Turkish words the letter is simply written
twice, as: j^MJL? saV-la-maq not as j^Vl^- Ex.:
CoJbj is changed into the form JjJb; hid'det (anger),
£J\*, = zX\ mil-let nation.
Exercise i.
Write and read the following exercise:
1 i '^ '^ ' ■ ^ ■ i ^
I i „
ifc?/. Jim re ustun jer, re elif ha ustun rah\
jer-rah' etc.
c) Medda x.
§ 47. This sign is called med'da _n, which means
long; it is put over elif to show that it must be pro-
nounced with hard ustun r/, and not as e, t, o. In
Arabic and Persian words it serves to lengthen the
elif (§§ 39, 603, 701 d); as: t. j\ ez (crush), but 3T az
is few; Zj\ et (meat), ^1 at (horse), a. Jul emeen
(faithful), a. Jul a »weew (amen).
Read and write the following exercises:
0\ eh well! J I el hand tl esfc companion
©I a/^ alas J I al take JJ ash food
j I et? house ^1 ey hallo! ill eh sow
j I cu* hunting ^1 ay mouth J I aq white
i-Tl ^jJT ! a. oT ! p. 3lT ! a. j/| ! p.JJl
Zigy. Elif he ustun eh, elif he medda ustun ah etc.
d) Nunation £/£
§ 48. The marks of vowels when doubled, are
pronounced with the addition of the sound n, — en,
rr Accent. 23
— tft, — un. This is called ten-veen i. e. 'giving the
sound of noun ; it occurs only at the end of an Arabic
word. The vowels thus doubled are spoken of as iki
ustun, iki esre, iki ebtre respectively (§§ 670, 681). Ex.:
^ * * *
Cj te ustun te: £j or s or i te iki ustun ten.
s dal ustun de: 3 dal iki ustun den.
J* fe ebtre fir. J$ fe iki ebtre fun.
Lift Uy ' liia! ' a>- ' IjU- ' <3U^« ' Lib S Ullai
iTe?/. Noun esre »*", zi elif ustun 5a, w/-.«a, mini
elif iki ustun i»ew, ni-za-nini etc.
D. Accent.
§ 49. It is difficult and wearisome to give absolute
rules and their exceptions in regard to the accent in
Ottoman Turkish, as it varies much. Some general
rules are given in the following lines, while in all
cases which cannot be included under these rules, the
accent will be indicated.
I. Usually every Turkish word is accented on the
last syllable; as: j\ ev house, d\> f keb-pek ', vv«}Ul agh-
la-maq.
II. Words with double consonants have the accent
on the first consonant; as: ^Mll^ sal'-la-maq to shake,
a. sJI ,^> sar'-raf banker, \ a»! is'-siz lonelv, a-us te-
qad-dum progress.
Xote. The shedda in Arabic words serves as an
accent (§ 45).
III. In Persian and Arabic, the vowel letters or the
Letters of Prolongation are pronounced long and are
accented (§ 28); a. Ul>- ja -Ml ignorant, a. *y h'-
reetri merciful, p. p\ a -tesh fire, a. ^^u^. hhou-soos
a point, respect.
24 Euphony or Harmony of the Vowels. ft,
IV. In case of emphasis among words the accent
is on that word which receives prominence. Ex. :
1. Sen dun mu geldin? Was it yesterday that you
came? 2. Dun sen' mi geldin? Was it you that came
yesterday? 3. Sen dun geldin mi? Did you come
yesterday? (§ 66).
V. The letters h, r, when they are in the middle
and at the end of words, are accented; as yS\ a-lir ,
aJlII al'lali, oJt qalive coffee (pp. 5, 8).
E. Euphony or Harmony of the Towels.
§ 50. A yery remarkable peculiarity of Ottoman is
the attention paid to euphony in pronunciation, and the
changes of the sounds of yowels and consonants which
take place in consequence. Thus the collision of hard
and soft letters in the same word is always avoided.
And when one declines a word or adds a particle or
letter to it, whatever be the leading letter the others
must be pronounced so as to agree with it (§ 87).
§ 51. There are two simple rules of euphony in
the language for the words of purely Turkish origin:
a) If the first syllable of the word contains a hard
vowel, all the vowels in that word should be hard.
c£jJjI ol-dou it became, x!l al-ti six, i£\<J&-d\ a-la-ja-
glii-mi-zi our credit; not ol-di, al-ti, a-le-je-glii-mi-zi etc.
b) If the first vowel be soft, then the others should
be soft also. c£3^~- seo-m the word, ^jj> geor-du he
saw, j-lll el-ler hands, UiCi- oji^y geos-tc-rc-jr-yi-miz ; not
so-zi, el-lar etc.
§ 52. Remark: 1. On the above principles, when
one declines a word or adds a particle to it, the vowel
of the syllable added is generally so pronounced that:
i comes after a: *ulL ' ^lU ' ^It dam, dami, dama;
i » » e: ^ll'jj' J I el, eli, e-le;
ou » » o: 4jy'J,y' Jy qol, qolou, qola;
r© Orthography. 25
u comes after eo: jJLt* ciX geolfi, gebrnr;
a » » o,ou: 4J y ' <*Jj>- choula, qola;
e » » «, eo: t$y uj} ofi-lfy*' georen.
2. On the same requirements of euphony, in words
of Turkish origin which end in fj, J, Cj these letters
are changed into y. gh, d (§§ 88, 89).
§ 53. When a word ending in a vowel receives
a grammatical ending beginning with a vowel, a hiatus
results, which is practically a difficulty in pronunciation.
This is very common in Ottoman. To avoid this diffi-
culty it is necessary to insert a consonant ^£ y (see
§§ 91, 284, 287, 528, 543 etc.):
1*1 ana: 4itl anaya, p. Ijl ara: £jljl arayisk.
§ 54 a. As a list of words supposed to be exceptions by
some grammarians, we note 111 elm a, which was originally
alma apple', and is still so pronounced in many places;
while ©^3 qah'-ve coffee, j}L> pi-1-av, oy*J* lim-yon,
iij+J li-mon (lemon) are not Turkish.
§ 54 b. As real exceptions to these rules are the
ending of the Present tense jy — , which is always
pronounced — yor, and the pronominal particle £ — hty
which is never changed (§§ 140, 319).
F. Orthography.
§ 55. As the orthography of every Arabic and
Persian Ottoman word is fixed and unchangeable, it is
only in pure Turkish and foreign Ottoman words that
the orthography varies. The Vowel or Orthographic
letters (I , j , d j ^) as they are called in Ottoman without
any inflexible rule are added or left out arbitrarily; as:
cyy and OP butun; ^jl^JLs ' ^jclU ' ^xJi qUindi, arc
all admissible.
26 Orthography. r^
§ 56. The true rule is: 1. Never introduce a
vowel letter into a Turkish or foreign Ottoman word
without removing a possible doubt as to pronunciation;
*2. Never leave out a vowel in such a word, if by omission
a doubt is created as to the pronunciation.
§ 57. The following two points must be regarded
as exceptions to this rule:
a) In any syllable which is composed of two
consonants, if the vowel is soft ustun, none of the
orthographic (vowel) letters is added; but. if it is
composed of one letter 0 he is added to indicate the
vowel; as: ^j.o gel-di, L* besh, dL<C~>l i§-¥-mek.
b) None of the grammatical affixes take the ortho-
graphic or vowel letters; as M.O gel-dim, J£X bash-lav,
dJUjI uch-luk, jll al-maq.
Note. The use of the orthographic or vowel letters
is fully discussed and shown on pages 13 — 16.
§ 58. There are some words in Ottoman, the or-
thography of which is the same, but the pronunciation
and meanings are different; as:
ojl on ten; oun flour; un fame.
5Cl sheker sugar; a. shukur thanks.
iff geoz eye; guz autumn; Iceoz an ember.
Jj>. choul sackcloth; cheol desert, wilderness.
Jy qoiil servant; qol arm; a. qavl word,
i ^ gevrik biscuit; kurk fur; kurek shovel; kebmk
-Mj bellows.
J> gel come; kel scald-head; p. gul rose; a. kull all.

Turkish Grammar.
^ u^^> Lesson 1.
The Definite and Indefinite Articles.
§ 59. There is no Definite Article in Turkish ; all
nouns, when used alone in a sentence, are usually
considered as definite. Ex.: U babi the father, fcl ana
the mother, J^^J qardash the brother.
§ 60. The Indefinite Article is jt bir a, an. Ex.:
£j\ X bir at a horse, d\,£jt bir kedpek a dog, j&jt bir
qiz a girl, ,o> j* bir adem a man.
§ 61. The Adjective always precedes the noun. Ex. :
J3y guzel beautiful, y\ ' ^1 eyi good, yfT Iceotii bad,
guzel qiz the beautiful girl, e-yi adem the good man,
bir kebtu chojouq a bad boy.
§ 62. As in English, there is no unnatural dis-
tinction of Gender in Turkish, that is to say: the names
of males are masculine; those of females feminine, and
those of inanimate objects, neuter. Thus: baba is mas-
culine, ana feminine, j\j> qiz feminine, oM&jl ogh-lan cthe
boy' masculine. tS ^ de-friz the sea, p. ^1 she-Mr the city,
<J£ keoy 'the village', are neuter.
§ 63. The Personal Pronouns are: fam ben I, y*
Ben thou, j\ o he, she, it. j biz we, !«« siz you, J&jfr
onlar they.
28 ) ^rjs Lesson 1. rA
§ 64. The Demonstrative Pronouns are: j> bou this,
JL sJioii that (near by), j\ o that (distant).
§ 65. The Present Tense of the Turkish Substantive
Verb is the following:
Affirmative Present
pjl ^ ben im I am J*| J* oi-z' ^ we are
i>- ^ sen' sm thou art J^- J- s?^' sifiiz you are
j:> j\ o dour be is. Jjj Jt>j\ onlar dirlar they are.
Interrogative Affirmative Present.
? pj\ ^ ^# or *? f* iy. ben mi yim? (§ 53).
?i>-< 0* (j- » ?uj — • ^- sew' mi siw?
?ji J* jl » ? jA-* j\ o mou dour?
? J>\ fj y% » * ? J\* Jj friz' ?wi 2/w?
? j>_ <_. j- » ?j£ — « J- SMf' •»• sifiiz?
?Jj^ t,*J^^ >:> 0->"4*J^ onlar mi dirlar?
Am I? art thou? is he? etc.
§ 66. As will be seen, the question is expressed
by adding .« mt, mou after the word emphasized by
the question (§ 49 IV). Ex.:
? f* i>. oe'n' wl* 2/twi? Am I? (§ 53).
?jJu« ^L Jf gul beyaz mi dir? Is the rose white?
?jAr« Jp jr. j> bou bir guV mfi dur? Is this a rose?
?jj^. jj J^ <jw£ bo it' mo it dour? Is this the rose?
§ 67. The third person j^ is the Copula; its
pronunciation, like that of mi *, is governed by the
preceding vowel, and is: dir, dir, clour, dar, as the
case may be (§ 52).

* u^^> Lesson 2.
The Substantive Verb.
§ 68. The Turkish Plural is formed by adding
the affix J to the singular. This affix is pronounced
lar, after hard vowels, and Mr after soft ones. Ex.:
»iXl5*o deynek stick: ^>15^> deynekler sticks.
iSsS^kedi cat: J^JSkediifo cats.
iS^J^keopru bridge: ^l j-iy ' kebpruler bridges.
_^J qapou door: J^.s qapoular doors.
«-*>. khi-sim relative: JL-*»- klxi-simlar relatives.
§ 69. Titles of respect are given to persons
according to their dignity, office and occupation. £X&\
efferidi Sir, Mr., is peculiar to clergymen and educated
people. Icl a-gha or vulg. a- a, to tradesmen, labourers
and old men; it means Mr., Esq. dl bey, prince, is
given to civil functionaries and popularly to any per-
son of supposed distinction. Each of these titles is
put after the name of the person himself, not after his
family name, as in English (§ 495). Ex.: ^xi\ ju^-I ,
lc-1 -u>-l 5 di» jw>-1 Alt' mail effendi, Atimed agha, Ah'medbey.
§ 70. When the subject is a pronoun it is often
omitted (§ 120). Ex.: Ay\ ^ ben eyi'yim or A y\ eyi'yim
I am well; ;^L t\£ L* sis teribeT situs or 4^CL L:l
tenbel' siniz you are idle.
§ 71. In Turkish, as in English, the adjective
precedes the noun, and never varies, being the same
whether it qualifies a singular or a plural substantive,
a masculine or a feminine noun. Ex.: di?^ djy
guzel chichek beautiful flower: \<^^. ^jfTguzel ehichekler
32 r 0~j-> Lesson 2. rr
beautiful flowers; ^l&l fjj*j> beoyuh a-ghaj a big tree: fjjj^j
J>-lcl bebyuk aghajlar big trees.
§ 72. The Negative of the Present Tense of the
Substantive verb is as follows:
Negative Present.
pi) jT ^ or JS^ deyil'im, j>} J: or jJS"S deyil'iz.
i>- J^i » i>— 1S^> dey'iX sin, J>.~. Jp. :> » j>~j£"S deyil'siniz.
ji Jpz » jaIS^ cleyil'dir, Jjs J>* » ^&"S deyiller .

Interrogative Negative Present.
? *j\ u*Jpi or ? ^l^S deyil'mi yim?
?i>- (j* J> ^ » ? O^J^^ deyil'mi sin?
?j:> t/jP-5 * ?j-L.*i$^S deyil'mi dir?

?Jjz fjfjp* » ?JjA-*.£"S deyil'mi dirler?
Am I not? art thou not? is he not? etc.
.Afote. It is very useful for the learner to conjugate the
adjective with the verb and to write the latter in both its forms,
the full and the abbreviated ones; as:
pi I Oj^Jx or (**J*-)jS ' H!*- oj^Jjt or ^—'^^Ji '^ o^Jji or

§ 74. The Numerals are used just like all other
adjectives. Like them, they precede the noun. The
noun qualified by cardinals always remains in the

§ 75. The English word crhalf" is expressed in two
ways, by sj[ yarim and by 3f-y. bonchouq (§ 207). Y avian
is used before a noun like an adjective: off^ yarim
gun half a day, ^^L- <rj[ yarim saat half an hour,

its negative being Jy yoq 'there is not' (§ 126 a).
J-> j\j ' j\j var, var dir there is,
jjijj ' Jjj yo#, ?/o^ dowr there is not.

Declension of Nouns.
§ 79. There are two numbers in Turkish: Singular
and Plural; and six cases, expressing the different
relations of words to each other; namely: the Nominative,
Genitive, Dative, Accusative, Locative and Ablative cases.
§ 80. The Nominative case (or the Subject) answers
to the questions: who? or what? J* Mm? 4S ne? as the
subject of the verb; as: Who is learning? — The boy
o^jl ogtilan.
§ 81. The Genitive (or Possessive) case answers
to the questions : whose? or of which? d\+2 Idmih? dX<>
40 H. u-j-> Lesson 4. *%.•
nenin. Ex.: Whose book? — The boy's book dWpjl
(J,tj oghlanin1 Icitabi.
§ 82. The Dative answers to the questions : to whom?
toivhich? 4«jT hime? Ai£ ne-ye? Ex.: To whom shall I
give it? — To the boy Ai^j\ ogldana.
§ 83. The Accusative (or Objective case) marks
the object of an action, and answers to the questions:
whom? or what? <J> Jcimi? J^a> neyi? Ex.: Whom or
what do you see? — I see the boy, the house <jMs^l
ogh-lani l, ^j\ evi 1.
§ 84. The Locative answers to the questions: where?
wherein? oz&} nerede? Ex. : Where is the boy? — He
is in the school ©Jul5C« mektebde.
§ 85. The Ablative answers to the questions: from
whom? from what? i>s<jT Jcimden? 0^ neden? Ex.:
From whom did you take this book? — From the boy
0 jG X^j I oghlandan.
§ 86. There is only one declension in Turkish, with
four variations:
First Form.
§ 87. The first form comprehends all nouns
ending in consonants (except il &, and J q):
a) Nouns ending in soft syllables.

the Genitive or Accusative is definite. When the -in or -i is omitted,
the Genitive or Accusative is the same as the Nominative in form
§§ 109, 251). When the Indefinite form of these two cases is to
be described, it is styled by some Orientalists the Nominatival
form of the Genitive or Accusative. But the indefinite forms of
those two cases are called by the native grammarians simply
Nominative.

\. u-j-» Lesson 4.

Second Form.
§ 88. The second form of declension comprises
all consonants ending in J q. The difference from
the first declension is this, that J q is changed into
*> gh, whenever it is followed by a vowel (§ 52, 2). Ex. :
jll ba-liq: here J q is not followed by a vowel, because
it stands at the end of the syllable. <uJl ba-ll-qa: here
the third syllable begins with J q and is vo welled,
therefore it changes into £- gr/i, thus we have ^ill 6a-
li-gha. This change takes place in the Genitive, Dative
and Accusative cases: in the Locative and Ablative cases
and in the plural the J q remains unchanged, because
in those cases q is not followed by a vowel.
Note. In Arabic and Persian words and in all words borrowed
from foreign languages, the ,J q remains unaltered.

Third Form.
§ 89. The third form contains all the soft syllabled
nouns ending in fj k. The letter Tcef is changed into
yaf, because it is vowelled: that is, when the syllable
would otherwise begin with fj l\ the J: is changed into
y. Ex.: "itajjl eor-dek: here i! k is not vowelled, it is
at the end of the second syllable. aS^SjjI edr-de-ke is
wrong, for the last syllable would begin with fj A*;
therefore the h must be changed into y, a5"SjjI eor-de-ye
(§ 52, 2). This is noticed only in the pronunciation,
as there are no different forms for ftef and yaf (§ 34).
In the plural and in the Locative and Ablative cases
k is unchangeable, as a vowel does not immediately
follow the k (§ 88).

yuk load, ^J^keok a root, are exceptions to the above rules, as
they do not change q into gh, and k into y.
Fourth Form.
§ 90 a. The fourth form comprises all nouns
ending in the vowel letters ^ © j I . In the singular,
the Genitive is formed by adding d\j -nin; in the Dative
4i -ye is added to the Nom., in the Ace. J^ -yi (§53).
No change takes place in the remaining cases or in
the plural (§§ 88, 89).
§ 90 b. When a word ending in a vowel receives
a grammatical ending beginning with a vowel, a hiatus
results, which is practically a difficulty in pronunciation.
This is very common in Turkish (§ 53). To avoid this
difficulty it is usual to insert a consonant ^ y (and only
in the Genitive o n. This is really the retention of
part of the original genitive termination -nth).

The English conversational form of address
is cy°u'i m Turkish, however, there are two forms: sen
and sis. Sen is employed in addressing parents, near
relatives, children, servants, pupils, and intimate friends,
such as would be addressed by their Christian names
in England. Siz is used in addressing strangers, or
mere acquaintances (§ 494).
§ 94. Instead of biz and siz their double plural
J}m ' Jy* bizler, sizler are sometimes used in all the six
cases. This cannot be expressed in English. They are
-even used, out of politeness, instead of ben and sen.
«u^ The Pronouns. 49
2. Possessive Pronouns. jUl jy*>
§ 95. The Possessive Pronouns of the Turkish
language do not really correspond to those of the
English, but are merely possessive affixes. Possessive
affixes are used instead of the English possessive pro-
nouns. They consist of syllables added at the end of
nouns. They have the value of pronouns, and cannot
stand alone.
§ 96. The possessive affixes are the following:
a_ Sing. I. person my J*- Plur. I. person our
*L :
> II.
» thy
Xi »
II. » your
tS- >
> III.
» his.
iSj- »
III. » their,
Ex.
: Sing.
1| elim
my hand,
viXll eliii
J\ e-li
thy hand,
his hand;
Plur.
j{\ e-limi:
J>JI e-liniz
<jju\ el'-Uri
our hands,
your hands.
their bands.
§ 97. The pronunciation of the Possessive Affixes
varies in the following way (§ 52):
1. If the word to which they are added end in
a consonant, the affixes are pronounced: im, iii, i;
imiz, iiiiz, leri, as in the above.
2. If the preceding predominant vowel in the word
be on or o, although written in the same way, they
are pronounced: oum, onn, on; onmouz, onnouz,
Qouslionm, qoushoun, qouskou; qoushonmonz, qoush-
ounouz, qoushlari. My bird etc.
3. If the word end in a vowel, they have then
only the value of the letters m, n, si; miz, niz, leri. Ex. :
aIiT ' i!l;T ' ^tT ■ j*t7 ' vTtT ' ^fcl Anam, email, anasl;
a-namiz, a-naiitz, a-nalarl. My mother etc.
4. If the predominant vowel in the word be eoy ft,
the vowel of the affix is pronounced n, to agree with
it; as: £f ' il3jTl &f\ yt>f' jS^/"' jJjfGed-s&m,
Turkish Conv. -Grammar. 4
50 o l,-jj Lesson 5. o*
(leo-zuh, geo-zii; geo-zu-muz, geo-zii-niiz, geoz-le-ri.
My eye etc.
§ 98. In the third person singular, when the word
ends in a vowel, a ^ s is inserted for euphony, as:
A I ' illli ' ^-1)1) ba-ba-si (and not ^U ba-ba-l). The only
exception to this rule is the word y& sow, as: ^^s
dX j^> l -v *-^ Sou-youm, sou-youn, sou-you; son-you-mouzy
sou-you-nouz, soidari. My water etc.
§ 99. If the word ends in one of the connected
letters (§ 24) the suffix ^ is not written when declined
in Singular cases, but the sound i is retained; as:
^tf'dkitS^1 AifcT'1 J^tS^' •Oifef* J^^Kitabi,
-bi-nin, -M-na, -bi-m, -bindan, -binda.
§ 100. If it ends in one of the unconnected letters
( j 3 j ^) the ^ i is retained; as: ^*\ ' dbjl ' <U>jl
Aj_«l k ijjjj^l ' oX^I e-tra, e-vi-nin, e-vi-ne, e-vi-ni etc.
§ 101. If the final vowel of the substantive is
* e, it is never joined on to the possessive in writing
(§ 32); as: acOS ' ile3^ ' ^-©3 3 de-dem, de-den, de-desi
not j*o3 ' v£l*o:> My grandfather etc.
§ 102. The genitives of the Personal pronoun are
used, when required, to emphasize and corroborate the
possessive affixes of the same number and person. They
are never used alone, without their equivalent possessive
affixes to corroborate them; thus ^l^jlU qardasMm my
brother (not my sister etc.), ^-ItajlS *j benim qardasMm
my brother (not your brother or his brother) (§ 120).
§ 103. A final J q, in a polysyllable, as in
declension, changes into £- gh before the possessive
&/Vw
ot The Pronouns. 51
affixes, singular or plural, excepting that of the third
person plural ; so also fj k changes into y in like cases

§ 106. The Accusative Singular of a noun agrees
in form and in pronunciation with the third person
singular possessive affix added. The noun with this
affix, however, is always the subject in a sentence, while
the other similar form is always object. Ex.:

^j4. k . \iL [Eli] is here.
ca i <.!• iK^/i-il Alinin kitabi gliayb oldou The book of
tij,)jj Jlc (ibi Kitabi AU bouldou AH has found the book.
In the first and second examples the word j\3
* Li"
means 'his book5 (Nom. third person), and is the sub-
ject of the sentence: in the third example the word is
the objective case of the word ^t^ .

^ u^l> Lesson 6.
^liL*! The Izafet.
§ 107. The possession or connexion of one thing
or person with another is called in Turkish, Izafet,
which means 'addition or annexation'.
One substantive is governed by another in three
different ways:
§ 108. I. By juxtaposition, without change. This
is used to shew the relation between a material and
the thing composed of it. The name of the material
56 1 u-J-* Lesson 6. oT
is simply put, like an adjective, before the other sub-
stantive. Ex. :
jby (jj6 \ altoun qoutou a golden box.
Jjjd* s±JL_»\ i-pelc mendil a silk handkerchief.
c-c-U- Jrj*J> gu-mush sa'at a silver watch.
Or the noun expressing the material is put in the
ablative case; as:
i\i~,jT <JX,j6 \ altoundan 'kebsteJ: a chain of gold.
viA)j*.L o_l-IU elmasdan bilSzik a bracelet of diamond.
^>\jj>. Cj^y youndan chorab woollen stockings.
§ 109. II. By placing the first substantive in the
nominative or unaltered form, and adding to the second
the pronominal affix of the third person (^ or ^ -i or -si).
This is used to indicate not only possession but also
genus and species, the name of the species coming first
(§ 81, Note). Ex.:
ijr'j? J\ e'y qapousou a house-door (indefinite).
Jj^j jlj? qouyou sou-you well water.
js-ltl ±j*j\ armoud a-gha-ji pear tree.
^lll 4.^-U Amasiya elmasi Amassia apple.
§ 110. The names of countries, rivers, mountains,
cities etc. are formed in this way, the first of the two
nouns remaining unchanged; as:
jJjj> Jilc^ Osmanli devleti The Ottoman government.
^*9sJ\/ J^lxil In-gi-liz qralichasi The queen of England.
tSJ^ ls~\j — ' Sivas sheh'ri The city of Sivas.
jd« ^.jl Ermeni mil'leti The Armenian nation.
^U? u-^-jl Er-ji-yas da-ghi Mount Argeas.
tjj^'i <>j.\s Touna neh'ri The river Danube.
<3\ ^-jL May is a-yl The month of May.
§ 111. III. By placing the first in the Genitive,
and adding to the second the pronominal affix of the
w
oY The Izafet. 57
third person (^ or ^ -i or -si). This indicates the relation
of possession and is essentially definite, and is generally
used when the article 'the' would be put before the first
noun in English.
The name of the possessor is placed first, as when
the possessive case is used in English. Ex.:
^Js ilji e-vin qapousou The door of the house (definite .
<j>.lc.\ dfcllj elmanin a-ghaji The tree of the apple.
^j^> ^i;jjy qou-younoun souyou The water of the well.
§ 112. AVhen the two nouns come together in
English, with the word of between them, the first ex-
pressing the quantity of the second, the phrase is trans-
lated into Turkish by simply putting the name of the
quantity before the other noun and omitting 'of as
in German they say Eine Flasche Weill, a bottle
of wine'.
(jU. r-ji j>m hir qadeh chay a cup of tea.
^.xi <ojl rjl uch oq'qa $he-lce'r three okes of sugar.
y. J*_~j\ (jj)\ on arshin biz ten yards of cloth,
cilji-jj ^-i^Jjl Jjj yuz eblchek boughday a hundred bushels of wheat.
ujty JJj~* j. &M" suru qoyoun a flock of sheep.
§ 113. The following construction is frequent be-
tween a noun and a cardinal number.
<i^j^ vlijl^r or (Sijz <J}Ji\^> Jcitahhl deordu or kitahJardan
deordu four of the books, or four books.
^—^A vllj-Jajl or (jr. >j| j}Ja.\sj\ or ^^ x,\ <JzJ<bj\ o-da-mn
ikisi or odaJarhl ikisi or o-dalardan ikisi two of the rooms, or
two rooms.
§ 114. These constructions are declined:
Evift qapousou, -noun, -na, -nou, -sounda, -soundan.
§ 115. There are two words ©3— (-<7r, -dri) in
Turkish; one is used with the nouns to form the Locative
case, and is always accented (§ 84): cojl ev-de\ ©j^I*
baghda in the house, in the vineyard.
6
58
1 t^ja Lesson 6.
©A
§ 116. The other -de is a conjunctioD, meaning
ralso, and' : it is never connected with the noun, nor is
it accented; that is, the accent is at the end of the
preceding word; as: ©^ j\ ev de ' ©s *-l bagti da '
©^ *jji) pederim de c ©a <o benim de; meaning 'The
house also, the vineyard too, my father also, mine also'.
j\j o oMi ' j\j <o oJl~, bende' de var, sende de var fThere
is in me and in you', i. e. eI have and you have' (§ 477).
§ 117. Da-khi io is also used with the same
meaning ('also, too'); as: L$ ©ju> ' io ©-U— bende
dahhi, sende daJchi ein me also, in thee too' (§ 477).

m The verb To Have. 61
<U Ig^a Conversation.
• jJUub ! p-^l j*£» ?J-V vULf vlL^. e$jjil j^\
v u^^ Lesson 7.
The verb To Have*.
§ 118. The English verb 'To Have' is expressed in
Turkish in two ways, according to the object of the verb.
If the object is indefinite the adjectives j\j var
'present: existent' and Jy yoq 'absent: non-existent' are
used to express that sense. These may be followed by
the verbal particle of affirmative j3 dir, which in this
case, as in many other cases may be omitted in con-
versation (§ 76).
If the object is definite the Substantive verb
is employed (§ 127).
1. The verb To Have with an Indefinite Object.
§ 119. In such phrases as: I have a book, he
has a dog, it is expressed in two ways.
I. By putting the subject in the Genitive, followed
62 V ^rjj Lesson 7. ir
by the object with the possessive affix and the verb
jh^J^jh var> var dfar] Jy ' _)S»y yoq, yoq dour; as:
jjijlj 0nbS\j>n Aj benim bir Jcitabim vard.tr I have a book.
\\^ dJLLL babamin bir Jcltabi yoqdour My father has
•J-^Ji ^. J1- . . notabook.
Literally: of me there is a book, of my father there
is no book.
§ 120. Sometimes the subject, when a pronoun,
is omitted, especially when the subject is not accented
or emphasized : then the affix of the object indicates
the subject (§§ 70, 102); as:
J-* j\j pjfcS""!/. &*r kitdbim var dir I have a book.
The affix shows the person of the subject.
§ 121. When the subject is a noun it is always
considered as in the third person, therefore the object
must end with the pronominal affix of the third person,
^ or _v (i or si).
■ . , *i. .... Effendiniil bir <>vi vardlr The gentleman has
-y-w/i^ \jpji v; . ' a house.
, i,i s\- Chojouqhoinl bir ehnasi var The bov has
-"-' t?^ -*■ -?.-T5 an apple.
The words Jy>-j>- ' S^ being substantives, are of
course in the third person.
§ 122. II. The verb To Have with an indefinite
object is rendered in Turkish in another way also. In
the first way the subject was in the Genitive case; in
the second, the subject must be put in the Locative; as:
js j\j t-jbi ^j o_x!j bend 4 bir kitab var dir I have a book.
J* J I? p& j. oj^jjj pederimdebir qalem car dir My father has a pen.
§ 123. Although it is not very correct grammati-
cally, there is a custom among the common people not
to append to the noun the possessive affixes of the first
and second persons plural. Instead of saying correctly
Sism atiniz, bizim ivimiz, they say Sizin at, bizim ev
just as in English. Bizim evin penjeresi the window of
our house, for Bizim evimizin penjerisi. Bizim peder
our father, for Bizim pederimiz, or merely peder; as:
«\r The verb To Have. 6a
§ 124. The Plural Locative forms of the Personal
Pronouns sometimes give the sense of house, home'.
Bizde bir i-nek var means both 'We have a cow' and
'There is a cow in our house'. Lit.: cin us'.
§ 125. But the rendering for nouns is different:
'at my father's" or 'in my father's house', 'the people
of my father's house", are expressed by adding JSgil; as :
i^- i i babam gil The people of my fathers house, ray
^- f • • father's family.
ojli pi-llU-L bajanagliim gilde at my brother-in-law's house..
«)j± {oj^tJ' liemshirem gile to my sister's.
. \^ i dayim ail bizde dir The familv of mv uncle is
' v- v: p*. m our house.
§ 126. 'There is, there are' is rendered by the Loca-
tive with j3 jlj ' _p J j> var dir, yoq dour (§ 76). But onda
var, bende var, denote possession; as: Evde bir at var
There is a horse in the house. But Bende bir at var
I have a horse. In the first sentence it expresses location
and in the second possession.

2. The verb To Hate with a Definite Object.
§ 127. When the object of the verb To Have is
-definite, it is rendered in Turkish by the substantive
verb j$ dir (§ 118).
§ 128. The order of the construction is this: first
comes the object, then the subject, and the verb in
the third place.
§ 129. This is a general rule in the Ottoman-
Turkish language. In every case when the object
is indefinite, the subject comes first; and when
the object is definite the object comes first; Ex.:
ji j\j pjb5"\/ Aj benim bir kitabim' var dir I have a book.
j 3 oJJ.) ^li^ kitab bende' dir I have the book.
In the first instance the object (a book) is indefinite,
therefore the subject comes first; in the second the
object (the book) is definite, therefore the object comes
first and the subject follows it.
§ 130. Remarks: The English Conjunction but is
expressed either by putting the Arabic words U' ' J>Cj '
JaS em -ma or am ma, JaJcin, faqat or the Turkish' »d 4~o I
i-se dc, all meaning 'but' (§ 239, 476); as:
lo The verb To Have. 65

param var am ma az dir: par am var lakin jj jl o <u. j\ jlj aojI
a£ dir: par am var faqat az dir; param var i-se de az dir I have
but a little money.
§ 131. rcAny'5 is expressed in Turkish in two ways:
one by p. ^a Inch, and the other without using that word,
but by simply using the object of the verb (§ 188); as:
Have vou any bread? '? ^ j\j *iLSl oJJ— ? jj~. j\j dXS\ tc-a «Ju—
- v~.-
He has not any money jJfy c<-0J^ ^>j\ 'J-^y. cr^-A 75-* ^>j\
§ 132. "Not any, not at all'5 is expressed by y^j* Inch.
jj> <c~:>. i3j*" <JP ■> jil 73-A • J-^ji cr0-^ - '^r* 'liC^ Parasi yog-
dour ; hich e-yi deyil choq hasta dir. He has not any money; He
is not at all well: he is very sick.
§ 133. "How many?'5 is expressed by *-\i! qach?
(§ 174). Ex.: ^ _
How many piastres have you? ? j* j\j ~tXtj^ -^i
How many books has he? ? js j\j jliC^^lS
§ 134. "How much?" is expressed by jjuLj ' jjJ^G
ne qadarP (§ 179); as:

A u^^> Lesson 8.
vl>l>0 The Pronouns. (Continued.)
3. Adjectival Pronoun. ;^j j*J&
§ 138. The Adjectival Pronominal affix is the word
^ -Jti, signifying 'the — which, that which',
according as it is a noun or an adjective. It is attached
to nouns and pronouns in two ways; by putting them
either in the Genitive or in the Locative case.
§ 139. In the first instance it is used always like
a substantive, and signifies 'that which belongs to'.
In the second case, it is sometimes used substantively
and signifying 'that which exists": when it is at-
tached to a substantive, it is an adjective, signifying
'the — which exists'. Ex.:
U I. baba father; *UjIIj babanin of the father; ^xjll
babanhl-ki that or the one which belongs to the father.
oil babada in the father; jo^ babadaki that or the
one which exists in (the possession of) the father.
j o JlL bendeki that whichlhave, or isinmy possession.
§ 140. The separate possessive pronouns corres-
ponding to those of the English language are formed
in the first way; as:
^C*Jo benimki, <Jovl~ seninki, ^S^>j\ onounki mine, thine, his.
S*S". bizimki, ljS^r- si~inki, ^o^L'jl onlarinlci J 7 \ ?<our8'
Both of these forms, when used as substantives.
have plurals and declensions as usual; but the last ^
is eliminated, retaining the sound i (§ 99).
Note. <j -ki never varies in pronunciation for the sake
of euphony (§ 54 .

the Cardinals; the denominator is put in the locative
and the numerator in the nominative, and the latter
follows the former.

§ 207. There are three Turkish, one Arabic and
one Persian word used for half (§ 75). Yarim is used
before a noun, like an adjective: yarim sa'at, yarim
(Ima. jBouchouq is always used in conjunction with
a cardinal number: iki bouchouq gun. Yarl, nisif
are used like a noun: elmantn yarisi, hitabifo nisfi the

a quarter, commonly spelt £J^>. cheyrek is used for
a quarter of an hour or of a mejidiye: f. Cjj^ qart
is used also for a quarter of a mejidiye: a. *_p roub,

3. Ordinal numbers. Adadi vasfiye.
§ 209. These are formed from the cardinals by
adding the termination <£- -m&i, -inji, -ounjou, -imjii.
The first has, however, an irregular form also, which
is diJbl ilk, which is corrupted from ^Ojl evvelki 'first'

Mayisin yirmi debr'dunju gunu dur. It is the 24th of May.
§ 212. Distinctive. There is no special form for
the distinctive adverbs, the ordinals are used directly
without any alteration:
Firstly Birinji; Secondly Ikinji] Tenthly Onounjou.
4. Distributive numerals. Acladi tevziyiye.
§ 213. Distributive numerals are formed by the
addition of j_i_ -er, -ar to the cardinal numbers ending
in consonant, and jl— -slier, -shar to those ending
in fS y«-

§ 215. The Ottoman -Turkish Calendar. There
are three principal calendars or reckonings of time in
Turkey. The Christians usually observe the Christian
calendar, which is called either ^>L« 70 jt tarikhi mcelacl
the date of the Birth (of Christ) [mcelad meaning birth-
day, Christmas -day], or Kristosoun tarikhi the date of
Christ. In this are used the Latin months: January,
February etc. (Iloanvar, Pedirvar).

Turkish Conv.-Grammar.
98 ir _rj:> Lesson 12. «^
§ 216. Among the Ottoman Turks there are two
calendars, the Sacred and the Civil. The lunar year
is adopted for the sacred and the solar for the civil.
The Sacred year is dated from the Hejira or Flight, the
first year of which Era began with the new moon of
the 15th of July A. D. 622. The lunar year is 10 days
shorter than the solar year, it is used in religious
chronology and religious Law (sher'i). The months
are reckoned differently from ours; they run thus: Mu-
har'rem, Sefer etc.; and sherif 'sacred3 is always added
to their names; as: Shabani sherif.
§ 217. The other is the Civil or the Financial
calendar: the first day of which coincides with the first
day of March 0. S., and is now two years behind the
Sacred. It is commonly used in all matters except those
pertaining to religion. The months are: March, Nisan
etc. — , the old Arabic and Syrian calendar, with slight
changes. The year 1902 corresponds to the year 1320
of the Hejira and 1318 of the Financial or Civil year.
§ 218. The common people have a different
reckoning of the months, running thus: Zamharir etc.
(See the Table.)
§ 219. There is another popular division of the
year into two parts: the summer and the winter divisions:
^1$ Qasim, St. Demetrius' Day, the 26th Oct. 0. S., is
popularly reckoned as the beginning of the winter season,
this has 180 days. ,j*UI j&>- I'hidlr-el'lez, St. George's
Day, the 23rd April 0. S., is celebrated as the beginning
of the summer season, which lasts for 185 or 186 days.
§ 220. The New Style calendar is called in Turkish
alafranqa and the Old Style round (Greek).
§ 221. The Ottoman Turks commence their
reckoning of time from sunset. This is with them the
twelfth hour, an hour later it is one o'clock, and so
on till the twelfth hour in the morning (6 a. m.), when
they begin again. This is called alatourqa (Turkish), to
distinguish it from European time, which is called
alafranqa (French, European).

^-i^j oUj^ Degrees of Comparison.
§ 222. In Turkish, as in English, there are three
degrees of comparison, the Positive, the Comparative
and the Superlative.
§ 223. The Comparative degree is generally ex-
pressed by putting the word with which the comparison
is made in the ablative case, and leaving the adjective
unaltered. The word U> drr/m 'more' is sometimes
put before the adiatftaa^ 'for the saW/qK emphasis, or
to prevent ambieank^x as: ,a

Bou gun hava dunkinden sovouq dour, Bou gun hava dunkinden
daha sovouq dour. To-day the weather is colder than yesterday.
§ 224. The Superlative degree is in general ex-
pressed by the word fjl en, prefixed to the adjective; as:
* Us ^XS^i J| en yuksek dagh the highest mountain.
\ja ^y-j^s iJi en sovouq hava the coldest weather.
§ 225. The word en is sometimes omitted:
^Li i)^Lo\ adamlarhl qabasi the rudest of men.
jjJLi Sjiy ^^y*- Hayvanlarin bebyiiyu fil'dir. The largest of [all]
the animals is the elephant.
Elmalarln e'yisini sech Choose the best of the apples.
§ 226. The words dl> pek very, a. 0:>\>5 siyade,
^>ll asliiri 'exceedingly' are used to signify an ex-
cess of any quality above what is requisite, as it is done
in English by prefixing the adverbs 'too' or Very' to
adjectives; as:
jjjjtjjj vll. pek' yorghoundour he is very tired.
jjjly. <oljj ziyade" bdhalidir it is too expensive.
jjjjko t£y£.\ a shirt sovouqdour it is too cold.
§ 227. Other superlatives are formed in a way
peculiar to Turkish, by prefixing to certain adjectives
a syllable somewhat similar in sound, commencing with
the same vowel and consonant, or the same vowel, and
ending with u V j,; as:
,jtfLi pj bim beyaz very white, exceedingly white.
ap achiq very open. qap qara quite black.
yam yassi very flat. sip* sivri very sharp.
sap saghlam very healthy, sound, sim' siyah very black.

§ 228. Spoken Turkish has the singular usage

)r ^rjz Lesson 13.
i »r
of repeating nouns, adjectives and verbs, substituting
in the repetition an m for the first letter of the word,
if it begins with a consonant, and prefixing an m if it
begins with a vowel, for the purpose of generalizing
the idea contained in the word so repeated [compare the
English shilly-shally, the French pele-mele, etc.]; as:
Kitab mitab boul'madim. I sought for books or anything of
the kind, but found nothing.
Duk'kian mukian ev mev bir shey qal'madi. Not a shop or
anything like one remained.
Eoinizin qouyousou mouyousou yoq'mou? Has your house a
well, a cistern, a fountain? etc.
Ekmeyi getir, qourou mourou ne'oloursa olsoun. Bring the
bread, no matter if it be somewhat dry or crumbled.
Sacln niacin yoq'dour. He has not a hair nor anything
like one.
Further: Oufaq tefeq. Little trifling matters.
Eyri biiyru. Zigzag, serpentine.

expressing comparison are expressed in the following
way (§ 179).

§ 230. Iu the Turkish language there are no
prepositions, properly so called, but their place is
supplied by words or syllables, called post-positions,
placed after the words which they govern.
§ 231. Post-positious, as well as prepositions, are
particles which serve to show the relation which exists
between two words. These relations being of different
kinds, the post-positions indicating them are used with
different cases, namely the Genitive, Dative or Ablative,
and also with the uninflected form of the noun.

inflected form or stem.

This tense, which is also called in Turkish Dubi-
tative, denotes mere hearsay or report, founded on the
authority of others (§ 312). The Negative is ^cl J5a
deyil imishim (They say that) I have not been.
CjUlL* Remarks.
§ 239. a. When ©^ -de is added to the Conditional
tense of the substantive verb, it expresses the meaning
of "but" or "yet":
isem tie, isen de, ise de; isek de, isen is de, iseler de
If (or though) I am — , yet — ; thou art — , yet — ; he
is — , yet — .
§ 240. b. By the addition of the 3rd person sing.,
to the Past tense (§ 73), the Past Conditional is obtained:
idimise de, idinse de, idiyse de; idikise de, idinizise de, idile'rise de
Though I was — , yet — ; thou wast — , yet — ; he was — , yet — .

j>j^ The Infinitive of Verbs.
§ 248. The Infinitive (or the Masdar) is the basis
of the Turkish verb1. It ends either in j* -maq or dU
1 The Turkish verb is the most highly organised part of
the language, being most minutely subdivided, most extensively
) \ o The Infinitive Verbs. 115
-mek: -maq is peculiar to roots with hard and -mek
to roots with soft vowels. When we remove the ending
maq or mek we get the stem or the root of the verb,
which is also the 2nd person Sing, of the Imperative; as:
.jf{\ almaq to take: J I aV take thou.
dX.^_j vermek' to give: j>j ver give thou.
§ 249. The Negative form of the verb is obtained
by adding <u ' * -me- to the root when it has a soft
vowel and U -ma- when it has a hard vowel; as:
Jj-lU aVmamaq not to take: *i\ or HI al'ma do not take.
dJU<*^j or d!L_*^j ver'memek not to give: <*^_j ver'medo not give.
Different kinds of verbs.
§ 250. There are six kinds of verbs in Turkish:
Transitive, Intransitive, Causal, Passive, Reciprocal and
Reflexive.
§ 251. I. Transitive (or Active) verbs indicate such
an action as cannot be completed without something else
becoming directly affected thereby. They always require
a direct object taking the nominatival form of the noun,
if the object is indefinite and the full accusative form
if the object is definite (§§ 83 note, 291).
dl*j3cj\ j^s sou ichmeJc to drink some water (indefinite).
dl»j^j\ djoa souyou ichmelc to drink the water (definite).
sLL«.L-j\ (J-Jli yazmaq isteme'k to wish to write (indefinite).
§ 252. II. An Intransitive (or Neuter) verb indicates
such an action of the agent as is complete in itself
without directly affecting anything else. When an action
is implied, an Intransitive verb requires an indirect
object in the dative case, if motion is implied: if rest
is denoted, it requires its indirect object to be in the
locative (§ 237); as:
developed, and at the same time most simple and regular in its
formation and in the mo«liti<ation of the signification of its various
branches. It is a perfectly symmetrical system, through all the
ramifications of which the eye or mind can run with ease.

116 11 ^rji Lesson 16. Ml
^^L-iS'ojl e-ve gitmek to go home (motion .
^»j^sj\ oij\ evde otourmaq to sit in the house (rest).
j.«>lil) Ak»j[> yazmagha bashhimaq to begin to write (motion).
§ 253. III. Causal or Causative verbs. This form
of the verb is not much used in English, but it is very
common in Turkish. It implies an order or command
from the speaker to a second or third person. The
action is performed not by the agent or speaker but
by the person to whom the order is given. These verbs
are translated into English by adding to cause, to
make, to have, to get, to allow and to let, to the
simple verb according to the sense1; as:
p-is-o^Oul j>\ j>t -.jaaIIS Qalfayabir ev yapdtrajagMm. I shall
. cause the architect to build a house.
pis-o^ojlj <u_;U-j\ <J>jZ*k» Mel'toubouOlian'neseyazdirajaghim.

Benim ichin bir setri yapdirabilir misin ? — Yarin In r
danesini gelirdebilirim. Can you get (or have) a coat made for
me? — I shall have one brought to-morrow.
§ 254. IV. Passive verbs. The English and Turkish
languages have this peculiarity, that they can form
passive verbs from Intransitive, as well as from Transitive
verbs ; as :
J*ilj baqmaq to look at (in trans/: J-JLSIj baqilmaq to be looked at.
Jjil almaq to take (trans.): J-*-^' alinmaq to be taken.
§ 255. V. Reciprocal verbs express an action
performed together with or against each other. They
are translated by adding to the infinitive the words one
another, each other, together; as:
d\<^l>j~. sevishmek to love each other.
1 The meaning and use of the Causal verb are seen by
comparing the verb raise with the verb rise, of which the
former is the Causal, in English. So also we may call to se1
the causal of to sit, the former meaning to cause to sit.
Similarly to lay is the causal of to lie, the former to Lay
meaning to cause to lie.

§ 256. VI. Reflexive verbs. When the action of
a verb returns to the subject from which it proceedes,
the verb is called Reflexive. These verbs are translated
into Euglish by the reflexive pronouns (§ 145); as:
vU«-1jOj\ ebrtunmek' to cover himself.

Primitive and Derivative Verbs.
. €* ^ *>
§ 257. Simple or Primitive Verbs are those which
have no letters or syllables inserted after the root:
for instance j^jl, yazmaq to write, dL.— sevmek to love.
jj^yjl oqoumaq to read, are simple verbs, because there
1 Mujer'red ve Mezeedi'ui feehi masdarlar.
120 )V ^rj.> Lesson 17. ir*
are no letters added to the roots A/3l> ya#-> Vh sev,
§ 258. But if I say j^ojl) ■ di^$^^c jiy^l ijaz-
dirmaq, sevishmek, oqounmaq: these are derivative verbs,
the new or secondary roots are y:>*l> ' *> ^ 'OJj' yazdlr\
sevish, oqoun. These are formed by inserting certain
letters between the simple roots and the infinitive
termination, and thus changing the meaning of the verb,
more or less.
£\*j~< sevmek; V j~. sev to love:
d\+Jitj~, sevishmek; XjLij-, seoish to love each other.
J^jlj yazmaq: VjIj yaz to write:
j.*^ojl» yazdirmaq; V^ojl yazdir to cause to write.
&y>j\ oqoumaq; V y>j\ oqou to read:
• - \i — ~
&yj\ oqounmaq; V oj*j\ oqoun to be read.
§ 259. The so-called servile letters are those letters,
which, when added to the roots, change, more or less,
the meaning of the verb. They are: Cj t, ^ dir, j >\
c n, J I, J. sh.
§ 2b0. These letters or syllables have each then-
own special signification when inserted to form a new
root. Each alters the meaning of the verb in a regular
manner. 1, 2, 3. Zj t, j$ dir, j r have the power of
making verbs Transitive, if the original root is Intransitive ;
and Causal, if the original verb is Transitive. 4, 5. A verb
is made either Reflexive or Passive by adding J I or
J n to the root of a primitive verb. 6. Reciprocal verbs
are formed by adding J- .s7* to the root of primitive verbs.
§ 261. There are six measures [Oij ' «J» bab, vt'zn),
as they are called in Turkish, which serve as formulas

to enable the student always to remember the addition
and the changes of meaning caused by the insertion
of the servile letters. J -
1. Oqoutmaq J£yjl [Transitive and Causal].
§ 262. This form is obtained by adding £j t, (it,
fit, out) to the stem (§§ 52, 56).
The effect of the insertion of this letter is twofold:
1 . If the original primitive form is intransitive, it
is made transitive; as:
jyjjbj] otourmaq to sit: Jj^J^jl otourtmaq to make to sit, seat.
Jj-Jsl baqmaq to look: j^-iil baqitmaq to make to look, to
show.
2. If the original simple form be transitive, it
changes to causal; as:
,Jy>j2j\ oqoumaq to read: J^yj\ oqoutmaq to cause to read.
^ILj yiy'qamaq to wash: J^lJL; yiy'qatmaq to cause to wash.
Xote. This o t is added, generally, when the root of the
verb ends in a vowel, or in one of the semivowels J 7, j r, <j n.

2. Yasdirmaq ^j^\ [Transitive and Causal .
§ 263. This measure is formed by adding ,o (d/iv,
dli\ diir, dour) to the root (§§ 52, 56).
The effect of this syllable on the root is just the
same as that of the first measure:
1. If the primitive verb is intransitive, it is made
transitive; as:
^illjl eolmel: to die (intrans. : dJUjjJjl ebliurmek to kill (trans.).
J^ljjl oiii/anmaq to awake (intrans.):
(JJ.^Ju'Ljl ouyandirmaq to awaken (trans.).
2. If the primitive verb be transitive, it is changed
into a causal; as:
^-a-1 achmaq to open (trans/': j^jjo*. I achdirmaq to cause to open.
jyOL yazmaq to write ( » ): Jj*jOJlj yazd'irmaq to cause to write.
2Vo£e. This jj <J£r is added generally to those verbs whose
stem ends in a consonant other than those mentioned above.
There are some exceptions:

§ 264. This measure is formed by adding j (-ir-,
-ir-, -our-, -fir-) to the stem (§§ 52, 56).
It changes the Intransitive into Transitive and the
Transitive into Causal; as:
J,*jb dogh'maq to be born (intrans.): Jyjy-jb doghourmaq to give
birth.
>iU..*. i pislnnek to be cooked (intrans ): vlX.^n±.j pishirmek to cook.
vUL.^1 iclimek to drink (trans.): ^-l«,A?yl ichirmek to give to

.Note. This form is a modification of the second form, losing
the :> d: therefore its derivatives are very limited, and almost all
are here given.

4. Taraiintuq scljlL [Reflexive, Passive].
§ 265. This measure is formed by adding 0 »,
(m, tm, own) to the root of the verb (§§ 52, 56).
It changes the Transitive into the Reflexive and
Passive; as:

^*\j\b taramaq to coinb: JjMj^ taranmaq to be combed, to comb

oneself.
J^yjl oqoumaq to read: &yj\ oqounmaq to be read.
J^j) boulmaq to find: 3^-jy. boulounmaq to be found.
§ 266. In spelling there is no difference between
the reflexive and the passive, as both are formed by
adding ,j n. The difference is in the meaning. If the
verb deals with the subject, it is reflexive; if the verb
refers to the logical object, it is passive, because
passive verbs have no grammatical object; as:
Effendi yiyqandi The Master washed himself (reflexive).
Qadehler yiyqandi The cups have been washed (passive).

§ 269. a. The meaning of the Negative form is, of
course, in general perfectly clear; but the negative form
of the causal verbs, besides its ordinary signification,
sometimes expresses a prohibition or prevention of the
action being done. Thus oqout'mamaq means 'not to
cause to read, but also 'to prevent some one from reading':
yaedirmamaq not to cause to write', and also 'to prevent
from writing.

§271. Compound verbs are formed by employing
Arabic, Persian and Turkish words with the Turkish
auxiliary verbs, or by affixing certain particles to nouns
and adjectives in order to turn them into verbs.
128
tA u~J-> Lesson 18.
tfA
1. Compound verbs, formed by using nouns
with auxiliary verbs.
§ 272. I. Compound Transitive verbs are con-
structed by uniting with nouns and adjectives (generally
of Arabic and Persian origin) one of the four purely
Turkish synonymous auxiliary verbs dij^\ d\J^\ or
dl«Jbl 'j^JLS ' jy«)y y etmelc, eylemek, c/rfmaq, botiyourmaq, all
meaning to do, to perform; but the first is most
frequently used.
a. J\^~. sival question : «i-L_:j| Jlj- ' -^U-U Jl_^- ' (J-J1-^ JU- c
3'->yy ^J"1 to Question.
to free.
t. i^>j^> sous silent: ^«_Ij1 ^ **a to still, to hush.
t. J^-Ij i/ash moisture; wet: d)<>JM J^L to moisten; to wet.
Note. The original meaning of J^Jj-j bonyourmaq is to
command, to deign, to he kind enough , but as an auxiliary
it is used when the agent is a person of rank or is politely
treated as such.
§ 273. II. Compound Intransitive verbs are formed
by uniting Arabic or Persian adjectives and active
and passive participles (isnu fayil, mefoul) to the in-
transitive verb jljl olmaq "to be, to become'; as:
p. aL.> hasta sick: tjlj\ *1~». hasta olmaq to be sick.
cl+-» memnoun glad: j^Ljl tjjl<^. memnoun olmaq to be glad.
a.
t. uaj^> s0lls silent: ^j\ ^ys sous olmaq to be silent.
§ 274. III. Compound Passive verbs are constructed
with the same kind of words and with the passive form
of the auxiliaries diij^l l tjS J ' %b<w edUmek, qUinmaqi
bouyroulmaq, or more frequently with the passive forms
of the verb jljl olmaq; viz. j^lljl olounmaq to become,
to which there is nothing to correspond in English; as:
a. J\^~. sival: »HL.Xj\ J\j— ' ^'^j\ Jlj— ' 3^*^? Jl^- ' jk>Ji* dl_r*

of the auxiliaries dJUjJ&l. ' ::>-• etdirmek^ bont/ourtmaq,
to cause to do.
p. <^>_)jS firoukhte sale: dl*jJ£] ^iJ^j^s firoukht ctdirmek to

*2. Verbs derived from Nouns and Adjectives.
§ 276. I. Transitive verbs are formed from
nouns and adjectives by the addition of i*V lamaq
to those containing hard vowels, and di#*I lemek to
those containing soft vowels. When this termination
is added to a noun, it has the meaning of to provide
with, and when added to an adjective signifies to
render; as:
Turkish Conv. -Grammar. &

jj gebz eye: <Z\*i]'jjT gebzlemek to watch.
J^l bash head: J^^lj bashlamaq to begin.
oJ» g;ara black: 3*^°^ Qfi'fdlamaq to blacken.
J\E te'»M£ clean: dX.4jJ\£ temizlcmek to clean.
§ 277. II. Intransitive and Passive verbs are formed
by the addition of dU ' dlcV lenmek, lanmaq to
nouns or adjectives; as:
dLJjl evlenmek to marry. <Z\^&jj guzel'lenmek to grow pretty.
(Jt^j*- khirslanmaq to be angry. Jji^/^U. hazirlanmaq to be ready.
§ 278. III. By adding simply i* -amaq, dl«
-emeU, jll -almaq, dlt -elmek, to the adjectives or
nouns, another kind of Intransitive or Passive verbs is
obtained ; as :
o^ qan blood: Jj^ls qanamaq to bleed.
<=-^$ 2°ja °^: iS"^^ qojamaq to become old.
J^L [/ash age: ,3*^ yasliamaq to live.
(Jjs;. c//o^ much : y^-j^ choghalmaq to increase.
j| a£ little: ,jUJ- azalmaq to diminish.
§ 279. IV. Some Intransitive verbs are formed
from adjectives by the addition of dLJLl ' j^V -lesliaiek,
-lashmaq, meaning to grow, to become, to get
(gradually).
a, Li fena bad: ,j*i.VLi fenalashmaq] To kecorae WOree
yf keotii bad: £\J&yf fce^/esfcmefcj (gradually).
^j\ eyi good: dU-iJjjl eyileshmek To grow better (grad.).
§ 280. The same termination, however, added to
nouns produces reciprocal verbs; as:
a. w»»IX. mektoub letter: j^i^^ix* mektoublashmaq to corre-
spond,
^ni. khaber information: vlJU_iJ^ni. khabJrleshmek to commu-
nicate (intelligence).
)r) Compound Verbs. 131
§ 281. V. Causal compound verbs are obtained
by inserting Cj t in the first and 3rd forms and j^ dir
in the 2"'1 and 4th forms.
1. jt^ilj bashlatmaq to let be begun.
2. dl.jjjj>\ Svlendirmek to make marry.
3. /k^lij*. choghaltmaq to make abound.
4. vULjA-iij^ eyileshdirmek to make grow gradually better.
§ 282. VI. There are some exceptions to the above-
mentioned rules; as:

The Potential Verb.
§ 283. To be able to do an action is expressed
by the verb dUL bilmeJc to know, to be able' put after
132 1A ^.jz Lesson 18. srr
the root of any verb, with * he joiued to it. This is
called in Turkish the Potential verb. It somewhat
resembles the Potential mood of the English verb. But
this is a class of verbs in the Turkish language, which
has all the moods, tenses and modifications which the
regular verbs have; as:
j^jL yazmaq ' oj[> : vIUljoJI. yazabilmek to be able to write, i. e.
to know how to write.
vLv. ^ sevmek ' o •- : £\JL> a »~ sevebilmek to be able to love, i. e.
to know now to love.
<^JL bilmek ' <L : <UUlj*JLj bilebilmek to be able to know, i.e.
to know how to know.
§ 284. If the root of the verb end in a vowel,
a ye is inserted between the stem and he (§ 53); as:
<il.4.L^- sebylemek V^Jj^- ! *iUJLj4j<»JL^ seoyleyebilmek to be able
to speak.
§ 285. The negative which expresses inability
or impossibility, is made by adding >U -mamaq or
dbr ' dX*^* -memek to the stem of the verb instead of
bilmek ; as :
^Lojl yazamamaq not to be able to write (not *il»<u-Lojb).
,3'lxu J*j\ oqouya'mamaq not to be able to read.
■±\»\*ojS or vUu_*ojJ> gidememek not to be able to go.
Accelerative Verbs.
§ 286. By adding the verb viU^j vemiek to the
root of any verb, another verb is formed which expresses
doing the same action, but in a very off-hand way.
This verb is called bv native grammarians l-?=*7 1*5
Fee-U Tajil Accelerative verb or Verb of Facility.
§ 287. If the root of the original verb end in a
consonant it takes a vowel ^ ye after it; and if it end
in a vowel the syllable J, -/// must be added to it
(§ 53); as:

The Derivative forms of the Infinitive.
§ 288. There are three formations of verbal
Substantives derived from the Infinitive: By append-
ing to the Infinitive the syllables jj ' dil -liq, -Uk,
and by affixing to the root of the verb the terminations
<c« -ma, -me, i> ' . J. -ish, -ish, the three derivative
forms of the Infinitive are obtained; as:
vLUj— se'cmek to love: 1. dlbvj^- secmeklik Loving, the action of
loving.
^j-jlj yazmaq to write: 1. jli.j^ yazmaqliq Writing, the action
of writing.
2. Vj— sec: <^j— sec me Loving, the action of loving.
3. \j- sec: J.>j~ secish Loving, the mood of loving.
§ 289. Turkish Infinitives and verbals are fre-
quently used substantively, and when so used they
can be declined like substantives, with or without the
pronominal affixes.

§ 291. Turkish Infinitives govern nouns and
pronouns, which are always put before them ; the object
is to be put in the nominatival form, if indefinite; and
in the accusative if definite. This is the case also for
Verbal nouns and Participles (§§ 83, Note, 251); as:
j-aM (3^j kitabi aclimaq to open the book.
jiiUjijl . .li5 Jcitab oqoumaqliq reading a book.
<u_»sj| j^s sou ichme drinking some water.
§ 292. The logical subject of the Infinitive is to
be put in the Genitive case : or to use another expression,
yrv The Derivative forms of the Infinitive. 137
the infinitive or verbal noun, if considered as a sub-
stantive, requires a noun or pronoun before it in the
genitive. In the case of Pronouns this is not always
necessary, as the affixed pronoun represents the logical
subject; as:
**+.& ±> k f <J^ benim gelmem, gelmim my coming.
di<Ci<ds^^— senih gelmeldiyin your coming.
jJL^iJjtJuil efendimizin gelisht the coming of our Lord.
§ 293. If the Infinitive is to be used as the object,
it may be put in three different cases: With neuter
verbs following it is always in the dative; with active
verbs, if the object is definite, in the accusative; if
indefinite, it assumes a nominatival form (§ 83, Note); as:
• VOlili ^.jijl oqoumaglia bashlamaq to begin to read.
J.JL \»j\> yazma bihiu'z' he does not know how to write.
j^JL ^ili-jlj yasmaqUghi bilmez he does not know the writing.
§ 294. The first Derivative formed from the Infi-
nitives denotes the act, the action. The negative of
this form is composed in two ways :
^U.UJIj yaz mamaqViq and JjJJ*U3^ yuz' mamazliq
Mektoubon yazmamazliq etme Don't fail to write the letter.
§ 295. But the negative, dative and ablative forms
when used with some verbs mean to behave as if:
Gebr'memezlikden geldi, geor'memezliye vourdou He pretended
not to see.
Tammamazl'iq etmek To behave as if not acquainted.
§ 296. The second Derivative of the Infinitive is
±Ay~ l <aj[ sevme', yazma the mode of writing, the
manner of loving; loving, writing. Always accent the
last syllable.
§ 297. The pronunciation and the spelling of this
second form is just the same as that of the second person
Imperative negative singular; but the accent is decisive.
The second Derivative has the accent on the last svllable,
while in the Imperative the penultimate (the syllable
before the negative suffix) is accented:
13S )^ _~j:> Lesson 19. irA
xaJI yazma writing, to write: yaz'ma don't write (thou).
^*j^ sevme" loving, to love: sevme don't love (thou).
§ 298. The English Impersonal verbs and those
verbs whose objects are not mentioned, but understood,
are rendered in Turkish as follows. The subject of the
Impersonal verb and the ohject must he mentioned] as:
yaz\ yazmaq to write. yaghmour yaghmaq to rain.
geok gjirlemek to thunder. qar » to snow.
dikish dikmek to sew. dolou » to hail.
tutun ichmek to smoke. shimshek chaqmaq to lighten.
yimek yemek to eat (food). ish ishlemek to work.
The Infinitive used as a Substantive.
§ 299. It has been several times mentioned that
the Infinitive is regarded as a noun, and that, like a
noun, it is liable to every kind of change which the
noun undergoes (§ 289). The student will understand
these peculiarities from the study of the following
examples.
»JJj\ J-0^ ' Of5->) 3*'->\ yazmaq ichin, yazmaq flzre for the

The Finite Verb.
§ 302. Turkish verbs, like nouns, have two numbers :
the singular and the plural. They have three persons,
which do not vary for gender as they do in Arabic.
§ 303. The koods of the Verb. *In Turkish the
verbs have six moods1: the Infinitive-, the Imperative,
the Indicative, the Assertive, the Narrative and the Con-
ditional. The Infinitive, the Imperative and the Indica-
tive are common to almost all languages; but the Asser-
tive, Narrative and Conditional are peculiar to the Turkish.

«.)&>. hikiayS, *z~>\jj rivayet, *Ja .i shartiye.
142 r* u-oo Lesson 20. )imr
§ 304. The Conjugation of Verbs. All the Turkish
verbs are conjugated in the same way, these being no
irregular Verbs, except the Substantive defective verb
'to be'; but there are certain modifications required by
the law of euphony which hold good in the inflections
of the verbs as in those of other parts of speech. We
employ as examples in each mood and tense the verbs
di^j— and >}^ verbs which are generally used as
models for the conjugation of all verbs, soft or hard.
§ 305. The Indicative mood has eight tenses and
the three other moods seven each : they are as follows.
1. Present JU x 4. Dubitative Jii ^U 7. Necessitative J. j=-j
2. Aorist c.jlJ»* 5. Future Jj:^*2 8. Suppositive <^*>J$
3. Past iS^j^t, ^L 6. Optative ^LaH
§ 306. Of the six moods of the verb, the In-
finitive has been fully described in the previous chapters.
§ 307. The Indicative mood is the simple
conjugated form of the verb and is the basis of the
other three compound moods. It has eight tenses.
§ 308. The Compound moods, the Assertive,
Narrative and Conditional are formed by the aid of the
three tenses of the substantive verb, which latter is called
in Turkish the Auxiliary verb3.
§ 309. The Substantive verb in general
corresponds to the English verb 'to be', but it is
defective. It has been mentioned several times in
the previous chapters4; but it is useful to bring it in
again here (§§ 65, 72, 73, 238).
1 Hal; Muzari, Maziiji shouhoudi; Maziyi naqli; Mustaqbdl;
Iltizami, Vujoubi; Farziye. — 2 The Imperative, Optative and Se-
cessitative are really moods according to the European Gram-
marians. But they are not considered as moods according to
the Turkish idea ; they are variations of the Future tense. The
Turkish language acknowledges only four moods as has been
mentioned. — 3 ^lt\ J«i Fiy'li-Iane. — 4 vide §§ 65, 73, 238.

§ 310. The Assertive mood, is used when the
fact mentioned is asserted by the knowledge of the
speaker; or it is stated on the authority of the speaker;
he knows it of his own experience or knowledge, with-
out depending upon hearing it from others; as:
a_l! jyj\ Itb ■ Ju>4Sj»-j* JnUhtMuyumde dayima oqour idim
In my childhood I was always reading.
§ 311. This mood is obtained by adding to the
third person singular of the tenses of the Indicative
mood the past tense of the substantive verb. It has
all the tenses of Indicative.
§ 312. The Narrative 3Iood is employed when
a fact is stated, but not on the authority of the speaker.
It is a hearsay or report founded on the statement
of others (§ 238); as:
p.i-^j\ J^j\ tjj^r oxS^^^ kuch&kluyumd^ cJioq oynar
imishim. (It is said that) I was playing much in my childhood.
j>«JL_j\ JUjl J>^:_C ^jjj Dun mcktoubou yazmali imishsifiiz
You ought to have written the letter yesterday it is said).
§ 313. This mood is obtained by adding to the
third person singular of the tenses of the Indicative
mood the Dubitative or Perfect tense of the Substantive
verb. It has all the tenses of Indicative save the Past.
§ 314. The Conditional Mood. This states the
condition on which another action takes place, has
taken place, or will take place. It corresponds to what
is called in European languages the Subjunctive; as:
rjjj\ Oj~*" ' *■— S"' gilsi, memnoun olouroum If he comes
I shall be glad.

f-Uj^J \jiji £~ \$M*-jJj\ f°A Param oloursayidl Sana

8 315 This mood is formed by adding to the
third person singular of the tenses of the Indicative,
the Conditional tense of the substantive verb.
It has all the tenses of the Indicative, except the
Imperative.

is used in literature and among literary people.

JU oWS The Present Tense.
§ 318. In the formation of the tenses, the third
person singular is first made by the addition of some
suffix to the root of the verb. The other persons are
made by the addition of the present tense of the Sub-
stantive verb. Every tense has its characteristic suffixes.
§ 319. The characteristic sign of the Present is
the syllable jy -ijov or j^, -iyov, which, added to
the root of the verb, makes the third person singular
of this tense (§ 54). The other persons are obtained
by simply adding the present tense of the Substantive
verb to the stem thus formed (§§ 309, 522).

§ 320. Note. This tense is often called by English
Grammarians the Present Progressive or Second
Present Tense. It indicates that the action is going
on at the present moment, while one is speaking;
whereas the Aorist of the Indicative indicates that the
action is going on but is not over, and is habitual.
Hence the Aorist of the Indicative has often been
regarded as the Present Tense of that mood; but it is not
really so, as it expresses the action in an indefinite way,
referring both to the present and the future (§ 328). Thus
yaziyoroum means fI write at the present moment, I am
writing', just like the Continuative Present (§ 300)
yazrnaqda'yim; whereas yazarim means CI write in general
as a habit', or it conveys a promise, and then corresponds
to T will write5.

The Assertive Present, which corresponds to the

of; as:

§ 329. I. The formation of the Negative Aorist is
irregular, as is seen above.
§ 330. II. The use of the Aorist among the com-
mon people varies; as:
sever im, seven, sever; sever ik, sever sxniz, severler.
sevmem, sevmen, sevmez; sevmezik, sevmezsifiiz, sevmezler.
§ 331. The First Gerund. When *i~*>- jesine
is added to the third person singular it gives the mean-
ing cas if, intending to do'.
(i^Lli tjjjjy <u-4.».jjjj\ ouyour'jasma gebzlerini qapadi.
He shut his eyes pretending that he was sleeping.
cS^c-l <C_4j».^a)I c— sesi allr'jasina baghirdi. He shouted
out as loud as he could (take his voice).
§ 332. This jesine is sometimes added to nouns,
and signifies 'after the manner of, as, like'.
(iJul jj~'Ajj\b 4^-aso^-. merd jesine davraniyor oudou. He was
behaving himself in a manly way.
Eshek'jesine baghirdi. He cried out like an ass.
§ 333. The Second Gerund. Such English phrases
as 'before coming, before going' etc. consisting of cbe-
1oo / The Aorist. 155
fore5 with a gerund, are rendered in Turkish in two
ways : one by the use of the second derivative from the
Infinitive, as has been mentioned above (§ 299). The
other by appending J,o -den or j/i ^o -den evvel to the
third person singular of the Aorist, negative form; as:
^T^^O'. ben gelmeden gitme | Don't go before my
^^zS^j^jJ^^ ben gelmezden gitme] commg-
4<JSjj\ ^j^j^^n&U. ^ j, ben seni chaghirmazdan evvel gelme.
Don't come before (my calling you) = I call you.
§ 334. The Third Gerund. When the third
person affirmative and negative come together a gerund
results:
jLjlj jljli yazar yazmaz. As soon as I (you, he) wrote.
gelir gelme z chagMrdi. He called me as soon as he came.
2. The Assertive Aorist (Conjunctive). a,15C>- fjU**
§ 335. The Assertive Aorist, which is called by
English scholars Past Habitual (corresponding to the
Imparfait and Conditionnel tenses of French) indicates
that one was formerly, in the habit of doing an action
or that one would do it on condition of something-
else happening. Thus *Jul J^ gelir idim signifies either
'I used to come or I would come (if something else
happened)5.
Bafia bir lira verirsen chog memnonn olour idim. If you
would give me a pound, I should be very glad.
r-^1 j\j^ yazar idim
iJJo\ jljL yazar idin
c5Ju\ jljli yazar idi
il-M jIJIj yazar idik
jS»Jul j\jL yazar idiniz
Ji-^1 jlj^ yazar idiler
Negative and Interrogative.
^jj\j^j~ or +*y*y* sevmez'idim, sevmez' dim ; sermez'idin . .
I used not to love or would not love or would not have loved, etc.
I used to write, I should write.
1 should have written, etc.
156 rr u-J-> Lesson 22. t ci
? *-L.«j^- sever' miyidim? ? >ju«^j— sevmez' miyidim?
Used I not to love? etc. Did I not use to love? etc.

JUl jj- seeeV imishim, J\lz.\ jj~, sever' imishiz,
Cn— it I j^- sewer' imishsin, jx~JLcl jj~, seyer' imishsiniz,

(They say that) I used to love, (Perchance) I love . . .
§ 337.
4. The Conditional Aorist. J^J^ fjU**
a^jj^, sever sem, z\k~,j>j~, sevir'sek,
£<^jj~, sever' sen, jff^-jj— sever seniz,
-u-jj.-. sever 'se, ^Jjj*, severler'se.
If I love, If thou lovest, etc.
*<u-j*j— sevmez' sem, -sen. If I do not love . . .
§ 338. Note. The Conditional Aorist is abbrevia-
ted sometimes by omitting the characteristic re, and
then resembles greatly the Suppositive tense § 378; as:
sevsem, sevsen, sevse.
§ 339. Further:
oA«<u-jj^ sever' semde Though I love, yet —
0jv5*~<j* j~- sevmez sende thou dost love, but —
^^j^ rf \j& her him gelirse whoever comes.
<^jjj\ aj yb her ne oloursa whatever it may be.
ck~,J-J£^ <o<u-^n5 gelir'sede gelme'z'sede whether he comes or not.
§ 340. When two or more verbs follow one ano-
ther in the same tense, number and person, the personal
ending is generally omitted in all but the last:
rjojOT j j^j\ ' ^ yer, ichir ve gezerim for yerim, icherim ve
gezerim. I eat, drink and promenade.

Ju^U The Past Tenses.
§ 341. There are two tenses denoting the Past.
§ 342. One is the Categorical Preterite called by
the natives Maziyi shouhoudi 'eye-witness past', which
depicts the speaker as having been present or as having
witnessed something with his own eyes, so as to know
it for certain without any doubt. Hence it corresponds
160
tr u-j:> Lesson 23.
n*
with the compound tense formed with the Past Parti-
ciple and the auxiliary verb cTo have'. For instance
yazdi, not only means he ivrote (in the presence of the
speaker), but also he has written.
It may also be translated by the English Past,
formed with did; as: yazdi mi? Did he write? — yazdi,
he did write.
§ 343. The other is the Dubitative Past, Maziyi naqli
implying or expressing doubt. The speaker is not sure
about the matter, he may have heard it from others. This
tense can be correctly used only when the truth of an
assertion is not guaranteed, and when the speaker means
to state that he believes what he says, but cannot
vouch for it; as: yazmish rhe wrote (as others say) he
has written (I believe), I am not sure about it'. This
tense is used in telling stories of the past or anecdotes
which the speaker has heard from others or read in
books.
1. Indicative Past. ^s^JL [J9^*
§ 344. The characteristic sign or suffix of the
Past tense is ^ -di, -di in the third person. For the
first person plural it is fta -dih for the soft vowels and
J^ -diq for the hard ones.

^ <J f -^ Vaz^m m^ ^id I write? ? ^ ^^- sevdim ml? Did I love?
yaz'madim ml? Did I not write? yaza'madhn ml? Was I not able
to write?
§ 345. The Fourth Gerund. A very common
expression is formed by adding 0s -da9 -de to the first
person plural of the Past, thus indicating when an action
is performed.
oji^jL yazdlqda when he wrote. Cjj^Jj^J^ lt"Oa *-xSjJI»- <j^*
chan chalindlqda her Ices otoursoun when the bell is rung every
body must sit down.
§ 346. The Fifth Gerund. By adding *>. -je,
to the same person, another kind of gerund is made,
which corresponds to in 'proportion as, the more — the
more:
fj^j j- *?}}yj\ <J>\s Icitabi oqoudouqja seviyoroum. The
more I read the book the more I like it.
Oy-Is-^^j^- *^=5jui (5*\jjI tsvabinl geydikje hoshlanajaqsln.
The more you weare your dress the more you will like it.
§ 347. After with a Participle, is rendered in Tur-
kish by the addition of 0 iy& c$ -den sonra to the same
person as:
o^fjo ,j.x5jJj\ ^ ben ebldukden sonra after my death.
*^fj-* o-ii^jL £j ben yazdlqdan sonra after I wrote.
Mektoubou yazdi, ve yazdlqdan sofira mebMrledi. He wrote
the letter, and after writing he sealed it.
§ 348. Further:
Eoyrenemedik gitdi. At last we were not able to learn.
Seoyledim gitdi. At last I have spoken.
2. Assertive Past, ^pj-i ^U *l$C>.
§ 349. The Assertive Past, which is called in
English the Pluperfect, is made in two ways, one by
adding the Past tense of the Substantive Verb to the
Turkish Conv.-Grammar. 11
162 Yf urJ^ Lesson 23. >^Y
third person of the Past tense and the second by adding
the third person of the Past of the Substantive Verb
to the Past tense.

\~s... The Future Tense.
§ 357. The Future tense in Turkish corresponds
to that of the English language; with this difference,
that it simply asserts what will happen, without making
a promise, which is always rendered by the Aorist.
§ 358. The Categorical Future is made by adding
o ' 4. -e-, -a- to the verbal root, if it ends in a conso-
nant; and Ai -ye-, -ya- if it ends in a vowel; and after-
wards dU- -jeJc is added if the verbal root is soft and
>• -JaQ if # is hard (53):

^Ijdl The Optative Tense.
§ 365. The Optative tense expresses a desire or
wish that some action may be performed. Its charac-
teristic sign is a -e, -a (or *> -ye, -ya, when the root
ends in a vowel) added to the root of the verb. This
forms the third person singular. The first person
plural is formed by adding i -Mm, -Ifon to this.

Interrogative. ^Ijfll .«UlJ
§ 367. The interrogative forms are generally in
use only for first and third persons, they are used to
ask permission for something, and are rendered by shall
or may:
Person 1: ^ pj»j^ yazaybri mi? ^ ).oj\j yazalim mi?
» 3: ^ <jj~-j^ yazsin mi? ^ J^jL yazsirilar mi?

» 3: (_«. oj-lll al'masin mi? ^ J{,j~*\l\ al'masinlar mi?
Shall I not take?
OWllL* Mida-la-at Remarks.
§ 368. The third person of the Optative is used
to form some important gerunds:
§ 369. The Sixth Gerund. By adding J,-Zi, -11
or jjjjJ -liden berou, sl gerund is obtained, called
the Primitive, meaning 'since'; as:
j^nljJ<jJS ajIj^j ' <J,&XT aj\jj> bouraya geleliden berou, bouraya
geleli. Since he came here.
ji <c~i- J^jis (j^p-^-ji bou chojouq doghali, (or doghalidan
berou) hasta dir. This boy is sick ever, since his birth.
§ 370. The Seventh Gerund. By repeating the
third person singular another gerund is formed which
denotes repeated action:
ci J^A.ty <c*y qoslia qosha geldi. He came running continually.
§ 371. The Eighth. Gerund. Another Gerund is
produced by adding jj fjj -raq, -rek to the same part
of the verb; it expresses the manner of a subordinate
ivr The Optative Tense. 173
action which takes place at the same time as that
stated by the verb it accompanies:
jj-jj^^J^C ±1j<Cj^~ sevinerek mektebe gidiyor. He is going
to school joyously.
i$JJS" ijJ^y qosharaq geldi. He came running.
§ 372. The Ninth Gerund. This is obtained by
the addition of ._ ' *?6~- -si, or -sija to the third
person, and is used for cursing and blessing:
(^lil* (^-la-jl ojaghi yanasl or yanaslja! May his hearth be
alight! (i. e. may he be prosperous!)
4^—lJl ^U-jl ojaghi bataslja! May his fireplace be sunk!
(i. e. may his offspring be annihilated!)
-*Jj\ j^keor olasija! May he be blinded!
2. The Assertive Optative. * 1<C». *>j dl
§ 373. The Assertive Optative either expresses a
wish that some action may take place, although one
scarcely expects it. or indicates regret that some action
has not taken place in the past:
*ju\ ojL yazay'idhn, i)jul ejl yazay'idiq,
il-M O^i yazay'id'ih, jr^-^) °Jt' yazay'idimz,
cSJul ojL yazay'idi, J*-±>\ oj\^ yazay'idilar.
That I might write! or That I had written!
§ 374. The Dubitative Past third person singular
of any verb is compounded with the Assertive Optative
of the verb olmaq jljl cto become', to express just
the same meaning:
^ JjVjI urO^ yazmish olayldim, iJjuVjl (JU3'LJ yazmish olay'tdiq,
j}jS)jj\ ^Jjtji yazmish olayidin, jS>jSij\ .JL^'ji, yazmish olay'id'iuiz,
<iJoVj\ ^J.^ yazmish olayidi, Ji-^Vjl yj-+j\* yazmish dlayid'dar.
That I might write! That I had written!
Ol*llL« Muta-la-at Remarks.
§ 375. a. Words which express a wish require
the verb which follows to be in the Optative: such
words are:
174

§ 382. b. If the Suppositive tenses are used with
5Clb Ictcisl'i, they are regarded as Optative. If they
are used with y I eyer\ they become Suppositive; as:

2. Assertive Necessitative. <j^>-j *15CS-
§ 387. The Assertive Necessitative (which is call-
ed by some grammarians Past Necessitative) expresses
that it was necessary or right that an action should
have taken place, or that one was forced to perform
some act; as:

gone to the school. 2. You were obliged to go to the school.
3. You were to go to the school. 4. You should have gone to

§ 388. It is the Past tense of must, which is
wanting in English, and corresponds to the German
musste.

£,Ulk« Mtita-la-at: Remarks.
8 391 a. Instead of using this Necessitate form,
some words may be used to denote obligation and necessity
together with the Substantive verb, such words are:
a. f3V lazim necessary. *f 9** necessary, requisite.
a. Jy^ mejbour obliged. a. U**\ iqtiza requisite.
a.^*b WV^ necessary. a. ^ mouqtazi' necessary.
TonialftRr is expressed by yazmasl \az\m gerek, vajib' ,
maj^£v**& rn^ourdour; yazmasl Raider.
8 392 b When one verb follows another on
which it depends and with which it is connected by
That expressed or understood, the use of the conjunction
r M between them is frequently avoided by employing
the word ,o ' ^ deyi 'saying' .
It is used also after all kinds of quotations.
b,X «T **\ j\ or tfjaj s\ j^ by*** ** « #«*■>
or, rfM* <Wyi emr etdi. He ordered him to come.
^eos^ fci ofcmrttwti, or, ototirsotm d«fi ^ gMSriL He showed
him a place to sit.
i kcI^ s fC '^ ^ 4U &«&«* se'™ ^ rf^* chaglunyor.
Your father is calling you to come (i.e. saying Come!).
8 393 c. The English verb To Have5 when followed
by an infinitive, expresses an obligation or necessity:
1Ar The Necessitative Tense. 183
therefore the two verbs together are translated into
Turkish by the Necessitative tense or by the obligatory
words (§ 391).
I have to write a letter. 1. Ben bir mektoub' yazmaliyim.
2. Bir mektoub' yazmagha mejboaroum. 3. Bir mektoub' yazmaq-
liglum iqtiza ede'r.
I have to learn my lesson. 1. Dersimi ebyrenmeli yim.
2. De'rs' ebyrenmeldiyim lazim dir, gerek'dir, vajib'dir, iqtiza ede'r,
-mouqtazi dir etc.
§ 394. d. When the object of the finite verb in
such sentences comes before the infinitive, the sentence
does not denote obligation, but possession. It must
therefore be rendered in Turkish either by the Future
Participle (§ 408) or by the Infinitive Dative or Nomi-
natival with 0$a=>l ichin 'for5; as:
He has a book to read. 1. Oqouyajaq bir kitabi var.

U* c,j The Participles.
§ 395. There is no Relative Pronoun in Turkish
corresponding to the English who, which, or that.
186 rA wJi Lesson 28. )A'\
These are always accompanied by a verb in English.
In Turkish the Subjective and Objective Participles of
the verb take the place of both the Relative and
the verb.
§ 396. Note. This peculiarity is the most charac-
teristic, and at the same time the most beautiful fea-
ture in the Turkish language, though foreigners
and even natives of Turkey, whose mother-tongue is
not Turkish, are often guilty of infringing it, and are
frequently in utter ignorance of its value and meaning.
For instance, oeni seven aclem cthe me -loving man'; ot
yeyen at 'the grass -eating horse': are equivalent to 'the
man who loves me' and rthe horse which eats grass'.
The great number of Participles derived from the Tur-
kish verb enables a very great degree of precision to
be given to this construction.
§ 397. The only Relative Pronoun in Turkish ki,
^meaning cwho, which, that, what' is not Turkish
in origin, it is Persian. This word, ki, is never used in
correct Turkish, though employed in translated Persian
and Arabic sentences. It is also used by foreigners.
§ 398. The Participles may be divided into two
classes or moods: Subjective and Objective.
1. Subjective Mood.
§ 399. The Subjective Participles are those which
are composed of the subject, (the nominative case of
who, which, that, what) and the verb. They are derived
both from active and from neuter or passive verbs.
In the first case they are called Active Participle (Ismi
Fayil) and in the second Passive Participle (Ismi Mefoul).
The Active Participle corresponds to the Present Participle
and the Passive Participle to the Past Participle of the
English Grammar.
§ 400. The Subjective Active and the Subjective
Passive Participles have seven tenses each:
§401. Subjective Active Participle. ■ J&6 ^J
Present: {j\j\i yazan who writes, writer, writing (adjectival).
Aorist: j\jl yazar one who writes, writing »
Past: J-O^i yazdiq one who wrote.

Dubitative: iJ-O^ yazmish one who has written.
Pluperfect: (jij\ \J-*j>\* yazmish olan one who had written.
Future: 3^°^' ycizajaq one who will write.
Past Future: <jij\ J^O'u_ yazajaq olan one who is (about) to
write.

The Negatives are: tjLUjIj yazmayan, iji^j-- sevmeyen,
^Llljli yazilmayan, OiA*^i j- sevilmeye'n, etc.
sljliJlk* Muta-la-at: Remarks.
§ 403. I. The Present Active Participle is appli-
cable either to the present or to the past; as:
^ ul3^ yazan adem, means either cthe writing man, the
man who writes, the man who is writing', and cthe man who wrote'.
§ 404. II. The Aorist Participle means 'whose
nature or business is to write' or 'who is willing to
write'; as:
r*\ J. j\J^ ->yj\ oqour yazar Mr adim fa man who can read
and write, a literary man'.
JJ^ J>JjJ>^ JyJJf gebriiniir gebrunmSz sheyle'r 'things which
can be seen and cannot be seen, i. e. visible and invisible things'.
§ 405. III. The Negative of the Past Participle
is more used than the Affirmative:
jjiji 4— »Jj £n*j~, (ij- ' j£~~ +i\ j>t j*\ j- siz eyi bir adem
siniz, sizi sevmedilc kim.se yoq dour. You are a good man, there
is nobody who does not love you.
188 rA u-j-> Lesson 28. 1AA
§ 406. IV. Only the Present, the Pluperfect and
the Past Future tenses are used either as the subject or
as the adjective qualifying the subject of a sentence.
The remaining four tenses are always used as adjec-
tives qualifying the subject (§§ 71, 417, 423).
mektoubou yazan, yazajaq olan, yazmtsh olan zat Tcim' dir? Who is
the person who wrote this letter? or ' {J)lj\ y^°J^ ' uO^ d>.y^A y
j±<J$ oij\ ,JU3|* bon mektoubou yazan, yazajaq olan, yazmish
olan him dir? Who is the writer of this letter?
§ 407. V. Therefore, these three tenses, when
used as subjects, are declined like substantives, either
alone or with pronominal affixes.
N. uU^i yazan A. tiljk yazani
G. villi j\> yazanin of — L. ©jJljli yazanda in —
D. o.l'jl yazana to — A. 0-^0^ yazandan from —
The person writing, the writer.
Also: J-^Jii ' J^-'L^i ' tfjWi I The writer among usr
„ ~ s~» 7 ~ ( vou, them.
yazanimiz, yazaniniz, yazanlart ) J '
§ 408. VI. In English, when the object of the
verb falls between the verb cto have3 and the Infini-
tive, it may be rendered into Turkish by the Future
Participle (§ 393).
j_ii»j ^S\ v!-U-<uj yiyejek ekmiyi yoq dour. He has no bread
to eat,
§ 409. VII. The Aorist, Past, Dubitative and
Future Participles are the same in spelling and pro-
nunciation with those of the Indicative Mood. It is
very easy to distinguish them, and there is one absolute
rule: If it is Indicative Mood, it must always stand at
the end of the sentence, because verbs are always put
at the end of the sentence. If it is a Participle, as a
subject or a modifier of the subject, it must precede
the verb in any case:
? j^oj^jl jf* **j\ y bou ivdi Trim' otourajaq? Who will
dwell in this house?
)A\ The Participles. 189
? j^ X^a^^S^^ojj^j] oj\ y bou evde otouvajaq kimse
kim dir? Who is the man, who will dwell in this house?

§ 410. The order of construction in Turkish is
just the opposite of English. In English the Antece-
dent (subject) begins the sentence, then comes the Relative
Clause and thirdly the Verb (or predicate); or the Verb,
Antecedent and Relative Clause. But in Turkish the
order is always the same: first Relative Clause, then
the Antecedent, and third the Verb.

§ 411. The Objective Participles are those which
combine the meanings of the oblique cases of the
Relative Pronouns (i. e. 'whom, which, that, what', governed
by the words of, to, on, in, out of, from, by, with)
and where with that of the verb. They are derived
from every kind of verbs, whether Active, Neuter or
Passive.
§ 412. The Objective Participles are formed by the
addition of possessive suffixes to the Past, Pluperfect,
Future and Past Future tenses of the Subjective Parti-
ciple (§§ 401 — 402). These are used as objects or as
adjectives qualifying the objects.

nouns do not take the plural termination (§§ 71, 423).

person and the Indicative Future first person are the same
in spelling, but in pronunciation and use are different.
If the word is a participle, it is never found at the

lable, but if it be the Indicative, it must be put at the
end of the sentence and is accented on the penultimate.

The Declinable Objective Participles.
§ 419. If the Substantive which .is the object in
the sentence is omitted and the participle is used alone
as an object, then the four tenses of the Objective Par-
ticiple are declined according to the case and person
of the object and the person of the verb in the Relative
clause (§ 410).
§ 420. For instance jS>jT J^:>C« ^^ ^ benim
yazdighhn meldouboii geonder, 'send the letter which I
wrote5, here the object (meJctoubou) is in the Accusative,
the subject first person (benim) and the tense past (yaz-
dighim). But if I sayjJuji .cjojl) <o benim yazdighhm
geonder, csend what I wrote', the meaning is the same,
but the Participle takes the accusative termination,
because the noun is omitted.
§ 421. The case is just the same with the adjec-
tives also; I can say *joj~, <^,Lol <j,l eyi ademlert se-
ver hn, I like the good people: It is possible again to say
fJo^« (Jllol Eyileri' severhn I like the good (ones), omit-
ting the Substantive.
§ 422. The addition of the possessive endings
implies a possessor. The possessor is put in the Geni-
tive case and forms the Subject in the English sentence.
It is not always inserted, the terminations of the Ob-
jective participle being substitutes for it. **zj\> /*!»
benim yazdighim is equal to ^sjl yazdighim'] the en-
ding showing the person and the number (§ 102).
§ 423. The singular nominative is used both as an
object and as an adjective qualifying the object, but the
other cases, as well as the plural nominative of Past
and Future Objectives, are never to be used as adjectives,
but as Substantive object: it is not permitted to say

the Declinable Objective Participles.
§ 425. The Tenth Gerund. The Dative case of
the Objective Future Participle is used as a gerund:
it then corresponds to the phrases 'instead of, rather
than'; as:
*)<Ou <>.t\ <^^<Ci) &3\ ^ ben ata binejeyime Ssheye bine'rim.
I would rather ride a donkey than a horse.
§ 426. The Fourth Gerund. The Locative case
of the Objective Past Participles, when used as a gerund,
indicates the time of an action, when an action is per-
formed.
i)j^ iSJr*-^**'. »^-\-i>o Jy^« musafirUr geldiyinde yemeyi-
mizi yedik. When the guests arrived we dined; or, the guests
having arrived we dined; or, the guests arriving we dined; or,
on the arrival of the guests we dined.
§ 427. The Twelfth Gerund. The Ablative case
of Past and Future Participles is used as a gerund, and
indicates the reason why some other action is performed?
The doer of the first is indicated by the possessive
affixes; as:
(i-><uJb (j-^-O^ ^j1^* rJ-^L pederim mektoub yazajaghindan
gelmedi. My father did not come, because he was about to write
a letter.
<£s*j*j>_j '— 'l>^ u-^i^^^z^ j\ o ishitmediyindinjevabvermedi.
Owing to his not having heard he did not answer.
§ 428. The Third Gerund. If ^< gibi is added
to the nominative of the Objective Participle, another
gerund is obtained, which means 'as soon as5.
^nc-U. Jj (^iSi-^-o ^ii-bjls qardaslun gel diyi gibi beni chaghir.
Call me as soon as your brother comes (§§ 334, 431).
§ 429. As we have ahead}'- seen, the Dative, Ab-
lative and Locative cases of the Objective Participles
have two meanings: one as a participle, the other as a
gerund. This identity must not escape the student.
But it is very easy to distinguish them, as the subject
of the gerund is always in the nominative, while that
200 r% ^-^o Lesson 29. y +
of the participle is in the genitive. Therefore confusion
is scarcely possible when the words are used in a sen-
tence. (See the examples 5 — 8.)

jw aL»Ij Gerunds.
§ 430a. The number of purely Turkish Conjunctions
is very limited, only six in number: and these too are
r»o Gerunds. 205
derived from Verbs or Adverbs (§ 475). The place of
Conjunctions is supplied by Gerunds, which are called
Conjunctive Moods or Words, Babita SiygMler, They
are mere combinations of Conjunctions with the verbs,
appended at the end of sentences (§ 230). The Gerund?,
like the Conjunctions, serve the purpose of connecting
sentences and parts of sentences. They have the same
power of government as their verbs, but they are never
used alone as governing words.
§ 430b. There are thirteen gerunds in Turkish,
some of which we have already met with in the course
of the previous lessons. Here we shall give them in
order. (See the Table.)
§ 431. The Third Gerund. This is formed by ad-
ding the termination ^ ' 4^;> -inje, -inja to the root,
(and -yinje, -yinja, -younja if the root ends in
a vowel). It means cas soon as' or con;; ex.:
iS-^-f^ <*j JA. yazinja gitdi as soon as he wrote, he went out.
jjLjl Asclj^ijl oqouyounja otour on your reading sit down.
The meaning is also expressed in two other ways (§§ 334, 428).
§ 432. But the Negative form has a wholly dif-
ferent meaning.
<«-—> <9-^jUjIj yaz'may'inja git'me. Don't go unless you write.
§ 433. The Eleventh Gerund. The third form of
the Gerund when annexed to ib*)— ' •i:^ — ' jjJaj— ,
-ye dek, -ye deyin, -ye qadar, means until.
jj\sj\ iii4jA3&lo £j> ben gelinjeyedek otour. Sit until I come.
§ 434. The Fourteenth Gerund. By adding *Sd\ or
jp -iken, -ken to the Aorist, Present, Dutitative,
Future and Necessitative third persons, another gerund -
like expression is obtained, which is rendered by while.
Gitinish iken. Now that the act of going has occured.
Yazayaq iken. While just about to write.

§ 435. The Thirteenth Gerund is a conjunctive in-
flexion of the verb equivalent to a verb (generally of the
same tense and frequently with the same object) found
at the end of the phrase, followed by the conjunction cand\
The sense may be such as to require the words ralso"
and afterwards to be supplied, according as the suc-
cession of the two actions is intended. It is character-
ized by the termination ^j— -oup, ip, (or s->y— -youp

Nouns and Adjectives derived from Verbs.
Verbal Adjective. a^Jl* zXe
§ 436. The regular form of the Verbal Adjectives
(Sifeti Musheb'bihe) ends in ^^ -iji, -ij% -oujou and
it is derived from every kind of verbs, except Passive
and Reciprocal verbs; as (§ 53):
^yj\j yazmaq to write: V jL ! ^-^j j\» yaziji one whose business
is to write, a clerk.
jiU? satmaq to sell: Vol^ • j^J"^ satirfi one whose business
is to sell, a seller, a dealer.
^yj\ oqoumaq to read; v yj\ • L&~iJ>j\ oqoufjoujou one who
to invite: habitually reads, a reader; inviter.
vHJL~ silmek to wipe, to rub out: V J-- f jjeJL* s^yi a profes-
sional scrubber of floors.
§ 437. This form resembles the Subjective Present
Participle in meaning (§ 401). The difference is that, while
14*
212 r) uv-jj Lesson 31. t)Y
yazan, sedan, oqoayan, pishiren mean 'one who occasion-
ally writes, sells, reads, or cooks', the Verbal Adjectives
yaziji, satiji, oqouyonjou, pishiriji respectively mean 'one
who habitually does so, whose occupation is to write, to
read, to cook', that is to say 'clerk', 'reader' and 'cook'.
§ 438. There are other forms of verbal nouns and
adjectives which do not always occur, not being formed
from all roots, but they can be divided into classes
as: —
§ 439. I. If the verbal root ends in' a vowel,
a verbal noun or adjective is obtained by omitting the
mini of the Infinitive termination.
^X»jjj^. churiimek to rot: £jjy>. ckuruJc rotten.
^y-jya sovoumaq to be cold:<j y^asovouq cold (§ 36).
vll-^Lijl ishlemek to work: diJUM islilek that works well, smoothly.
§ 440. II. If the verbal ends in a consonant, the
mini of the Infinitive is changed into vav, or ye:
,3-6-s^ achmaq to open: i3-*^ acliiq open.
^y*j>j> bozmaq to spoil: <jj-*3# bozoiiq spoilt.
§ 441. III. By removing the Infinitive ending
j^ ' dl* and adding bj* ' ^J ' by- -Qoun, -qin, -ghoun
or by {£> -gun, -gin to the root, another class of
verbals is formed; as:
^■*jj~> surmek to banish: jj^jj^. surgun an exile.

4. The Declinable Postpositions.
§ 451. Postpositions of this class are generally used
as nouns in connection with other nouns and pronouns
to supply the place of prepositions. Their use will be
best understood from examples. These prepositions
take possessive affixes and are used with the genitive
case. Thus Ijl ara means 'the midst'. ozju\j\ aramizda
rin our midst' i. e. 'between us'.
§ 452. The words thus employed and the English
prepositions the place of which thev supplv are as
follows (§ 236):

5. Turkish equivalents for some English Prepositions.
§ 453. All the English Prepositions, which indi-
cate a state of location or rest must be translated
by the locative: all others which indicate a direction
or motion from one place to another are to be rendered
by the dative case (§ 237).

JU >>t uij* Adverbs.
S 455 Adverbs are words modifying verbs, adjec-
tives or other adverbs. They therefore denote manner,
place, time, quantity, affirmation, doubt, negation, inter-
rogation and order.
rro Adverbs. 225
§ 456. Almost all Turkish adjectives may also be
used as qualifying adverbs, with all the changes which
the adjectives undergo. Ex.:
Choq seoy'lemek. To talk too much or intrusively.
jjJLjbjlj y\ (jAl^Oslw pjjix- X> Benim mektouboum seninkinden
<eyi yaziJmish dlr. My letter is better written than yours.
1. Adverbs of Manner. Jl>.
§ 457. The Adverbs of Manner answer to the
question ^ ' J^t ni'je? na'sil? How? The adverb of
manner is generally obtained by the addition of some
particle or word to the adjective, and is expressed in
English by the corresponding adjectives with the addi-
tion of the termination -ly.
§ 458. The adverb of manner is obtained in three
ways: by repeating the adjective, by the addition of
a>- -je, or of a£)yo souretde, to the adjective:
y\i\ j*&\ aglilr aghir, ^s-^n&l aghir ja, o-Xljj^ ^nc-\ aghir
souretde. Heavily. JJU» J.lU* ' *?eJjLL ' oS!jj^ JJU» Sweetly.
§ 459. This *>- or <c^*>. is also added to nouns
and pronouns, and thus we obtain an adverbial ex-
pression (§§ 155, 331):
<scJo i <s^l — jjjj benje, kendisinje according to me, to him.
otol '-u^-ocol adamja, adamjasina in a manly way;
also: ^_>b^o\ ' Jilt *$\ adamjilayin, adam aqilli.
§ 460. The 4th and 8th Gerunds are also used as
adverbs of manner (pp. 206, 207):
,jj<Jjl ijjA hediye olaraq as a gift.
iSXJf^ ±)j<}<a<l~j\ istemeyerek gitdi he went unwillingly.
oJIXoaL^— sebylediyinde when he spoke.

,_>l»c ^i^ Conjunctions.
§ 467. Conjunctions are particles which serve to
connect words and sentences, bringing them into a
certain relation with one another.
§ 468. There are very few conjunctions of Turkish
origin, the nature of the language being such that it
scarcely requires them (§ 430). Many Persian and Arabic
conjunctions, however, are used in the language.
§ 469. 1. Copulative Conjunctions.
a.p.jve ) a. j>. hat'ta j

*0 * aJLj \ He, le 1 aIo bile I
p. _a -A hem — hem — both, also. p. /> hem and, also.
<o ' 0»o de, dakhi also, and p. t. oJ> hem de and moreover.
(§§116,117).
§ 470. j ve is Arabic or Persian originally. The
common people never use it in speech ; its use is proper
to books and educated people.
a) *!> I' *J He, le takes the place of j ve for nouns
and pronouns, as *-* 4ll »j ben He sen" .ipjl 4jjl jJo
peder He oghlou, i. e. ben ve sen, peder v6 oghlon; also:
Anam babam — anam He babam = anam ve babam (§ 232).

rrt Conjunctions. 231
«
b) But in place of 'and' between verbs the gerunds are
used, as: ^^^1 <dty verdi = ^yj j ^Jtil (§§371, 435).
§ 471. l>- hat'ta introduces a phrase which cor-
roborates what precedes it, it is generally accompanied
by ©3 de or *L bile:
ci.i<si**D aJLj hjz\j>. ^a- hat'ta biraderin bile or rfe gelemedi.
Even your brother could not come.

(§ 243.)
§ 473. Gerek, ister, ha are put before two opposite
words or phrases to state an alternative:
Ister gelsin ister gelmesin. Whether he choose to come or not;
let him come or not. (I do not care!)
Gerek bebyuk gerek kuchuk. Whether great or small.
Ha dlmish ha almamish. Whether he has taken it or not.
§ 474. Ilia contradicts some words of the pre-
vious clause; it can be used only, if the antecedent
clause contains a negation: it means but on the contrary,
nay rather.
Ben deyil, ilia pederim hasta d/r. I am not ill but my father.
Qizini deyil, ilia yegenini' seve'rim. I do not love his daughter,
but his niece.

III. 3Iodes of Address.
§ 494. The word ^ sen 'thou' is not used except
with reference to a child, an intimate friend, a servant
or a pupil: at other times J— siz 'you' is used to one's
equals, unless for politeness' sake one of the words now
to be explained takes its place (§ 93).
§ 495. In addressing superiors, the words *xi\
^JCJT'S ' *,_5Cjlc £j\b Efftndim, zatndz, or zati aVtnlz are
used meaning 'Sir', 'Your Honour', or 'Your Lordship'.
246 ri ^j> Lesson 36. T"v1
Other such terms are y3C\S\±. '^^L^ [^Makipayiniz,
Jcha'Mpayileri 'the dust of your feet': that is, the speaker
addresses the dust of the foot of the other, out of
humility (§ 69).
§ 496. Note. The word Effendimiz has two different
meanings: If it is used alone, among the Christians, it
means 'Our Lord5 (the Saviour). If it is connected with
the word shevMtme-ab' 'Imperial5, as ShevJcetmeab Effen-
dimiz, it means 'H. I. M. our Sultan5.
Among the innumerable titles of H. I. M. the Sultan,
the following : sail •shahane, zati hazreti padishahi 'His
majesty the Emperor5 are very common.
§ 497. The words hazretleri, jenableri 'his (lit.
their) majesty, excellency, highness5 are titles equivalent
to 'his majesty, his lordship, his excellency5, but they
are placed after titles and names and not before them,
as in most European languages:
Imperator hazretleri H. I. Majesty.
IngiUer'ra qralichasi hazretleri H.M.the Queen of England.
Vali pasha hazretleri H. E. the Governor.
Qaymaqam bey hazretleri H. Honour the Qaymaqam.
Hoja effendi jenableri The respected teacher.
§ 498. It is considered more polite to address
superiors in the third person plural : Za'ti alilerine khayli
zahmet verdim 'I have given your Excellency much
trouble5.
§ 499. In high and polite circles the speaker cannot
speak of himself as 'I5, or others as 'he, we, they5.
He must say:
Bendeniz, qoulounouz, ajizleri I (your servant).
Bendeleri, qoul'lari lor we (your servant or servants).
Dayileri I, he, we (who pray for you) used by and
of clergymen.
Jariyciiiz, jariyeleri I, we (your maid servant) used
by and of ladies.
§ 500. Generally the word hazret before a single
name indicates one of the prophets, saints or patriarchs
of old; as: Hazreti Ibrahim 'the patriarch Abraham5.
Hazreti Davoud 'the prophet David5. Hazreti Souley'man
T'uV Appendix. 247
rthe prophet (King) Solomon'. Hazreti Isa (ee-sa) Effen-
dimiz 'Our Lord Jesus'. Hazreti Meryem, Meryem Ana
'Saint Mary5 (the virgin Mother). Hazreti Meseeti 'the
Holy Anointed One' (Christ).
IV. Honorific Titles, ^u^-j ^jllil JElqabi Resmiye.

Y. Onomatopoeia.
§ 502. Is the term applied to words or phrases, the
sound of which conveys some idea of or resemblance to
the thing signified.
It is customary in common language to use some
onomatopoeic expressions. For instance, they say in
Turkish:
Sou fchartt hharH aqiyor. The water flows violently.
Taq taq qapouya vourdou. Tap tap he knocked at the door.
Jombadaq (or jomb dcyi) souya atildt. He threw himself
suddenly (with noise into) the water.
These words Mi aril Icliaril, jomb are intended to
represent the sound of the water when flowing or
splashing, just as taq taq does that of knocking at
the door.
Sa-at tiq tiq tiq ediyordou. The watch was ticking, =
Agoing tick, tick'.
Kilisenifi chan'i dan doufi eotuyordou. The church bell was
Tinging, ding-dong.
EUerini shapour shoupour birbirine vonrdoular. They loudly
clapped their hands.
Qoushlar jivil jivil ebtuyorlar. The birds are singing
tweet tweet.
YI. iUI Ezan.
§ 503. Is the notification, announcement, call to
divine worship, proclaimed from a minaret or any other
place, five times a day, by the mii-ez-zin (chanter). The
following is the formula:
1. First of all j&\ «Il AVlahou ekber. cGod is Most Great' four
times repeated, turning the face towards the four directions of
the world.
2. -oil \'l «Jl V <j\ JLg£.l Esli-hedu en'ne la ilahe illal'lah. I bear
witness that (there is) not a god, save God [twice repeated].
3. -oil J j— j l-U.;^ <j\ x£*\ Esh-he-du enne Jlouhammeden re-

6. y\S\ «il Allahu ekMr. God is great [twice again repeated).
7. -oil VI 4.11 V .La *7a/i<2 illal'lah. [Once more repeated.]
The call chanted at daybreak has this addition after
the fourth clause:
f^lll t>» ^A>- SjUill Es'-selatu khay'run min en nevm. Prayer
is better than sleep.
In great and imperial mosques, the mu-ez-zins
sometimes make optional additions to the fifth clause; as:
! C/J^\ J i>!jVl Ju~ li 1 <il J^s-Jy \» ! 4j>l «— .v-l; d\Jb a>U1 j 5jUH

resoul out I ah! May blessing and peace be upon thee, 0 Beloved
one of God! or O Light of the throne of God! or 0 Prince of
the former and later (prophets)! or O Prophet of God!
Inside the place of worship also, this call is uttered
when worship begins; but then with this addition after
the fifth clause:
5>U:S1 <*15 _)i Qad qametis salat. Divine worship has already
been entered on (begun) [twice].

Second Part,
The Elements of Arabic and Persian
Grammar
as
they are used in Ottoman -Turkish.
Introductory Remarks.
§ 505. The Arabic and Persian languages and
literature have for many centuries exercised a very
extensive influence upon the Ottoman. Therefore there
are very many Arabic and Persian words and phrases
used in Ottoman. In order to be able to understand
and use them correctly, it is necessary to have an
elementary knowledge of Arabic and Persian Grammar.
§ 506. The following points should be noted:
a. All such Arabic and Persian words taken singly
are declined according to the grammatical system of
the Turkish language.
b. All such Arabic words taken singly may be
used in accordance with the rules of Persian Grammar.
But genuine Turkish words cannot be treated in this wa}^
c. Only genuine Arabic words are used according
to the Arabic grammatical system, Turkish and Persian
words cannot be so dealt with.
§ 507. There are, however, some very much used
Turkish and Persian words which are treated according
to the rules of Arabic Grammar, because they are
supposed to be Arabic. Such words are called Ollaie
*JjJ~a ghalata'ti mesh' hour e 'barbarisms5 or 'manifest
errors5 (§ 583).
too The Persian Plural. 255
Note. There are some orthographic signs which are peculiar
to Arabic; but as mention has beeu made of these in the In-
troduction, they do not require to be dealt with again here
(§§ 35-48).
fV Lj^t> Lesson 37.
l>
or
-jli **>• The Persian Plural.
§ 508. In the Persian language there are only
two numbers: the Singular and the Plural.
§ 509. Persian plurals are formed in two ways:
a. If the noun be the name of an animate being, it
may form its plural by taking the termination J\ -an ; as:
}^> merd a man ub^ merdati men.
jaljj birader a brother Ob^^r. birader an brothers.
j*£ sheer a lion <J\^A^ sheeran lions.
b. If the Persian noun be the name of an inanimate
object, it becomes plural by the addition of U -ha; as:
JL- sal a year 1^1 L- saTha years.
I»j3 derya a sea ULjj deryaha seas.
§ 510. If the animate nouns end in a vowel he
(-a, -e), their plural is made by changing that letter
into l! giaf (-g-) and adding ^)l -an; as:
ejilj bende a servant 0^-^ bendegian servants.
4»»b». khaje. khoja a teacher {j&.*.\ji. khajcgian teachers.
a. xJb talebe student <J&Jb talebegian students.
§ 511. The following nouns, though denoting
inanimate objects, may form their plurals in ^1 -an, as:
J^-\ akh'te'r a star u^A*^ akhteran stars.
j\ja hezar a thousand uOb* hezaran thousands.

§ 512. Note. 1. a. Jlw. muslim 'one who submissively obeys
God = Moslem5. Persian pi. old-* musliman 'moslems; an orthodox
believer', which is used as singular in Ottoman and Persian; and
jjlHd~* ' ^ld— • muslimanan, muslimanlar is considered as the
double pi. of it.
2. So also a. <uU» ' jU.7 talebe, tuj'jar 'students, merchants', which
are the Arabic plurals of v_JUs '^t talib, tajir 'student, merchant',
but are used in double pi. form in Ottoman and Persian : <j&A\s ' J«-Ai»
talebefjian, talebeler. (See the Double Plurals of Arabic, Lesson 51.)
3. There is another word in use musulman, miiselman, musur-
man meaning 'a moslem', which is of Syriac origin, but never
admitted into the correct language, it is used in the Southern
regions of Turkey among the common and uneducated people.

ril The Persian Izafet. 261
TA \jnJ$ Lesson 38.
^liL*! The Persian Izafet.
§ 513. In books and in conversation also, when ele-
gance is studied, instead of the Turkish way of connecting
noun with noun and noun with adjective, the Persian
method is used, especially when the words employed
are either Arabic or Persian.
I. The Construction, when two nouns are connected
with one another as possessor and possession.
§ 514. The Turkish way is, as we have seen (§ 109),
to put the possessor first and the thing possessed after-
wards, just like the English possessive followed by the
noun which governs it; as: <J^\l3 fjjJb pederin kitabl
the father's book.
§ 515. The Persian method consists simply in
putting the thing possessed first and the name of the
possessor after it, with an esre between the two, if the
first noun ends in a consonant. This corresponds
to the ordinary English use of cof between two nouns:
jju v-jlzT" ~kita"bi peder. The book of the father.
J— J J^l amal'i rousoul. The Acts of the Apostles.
II. The Construction, when a noun is qualified
by an adjective.
§ 516. The Turkish method is simply to put the
adjective before the noun (§§ 107, 669) ; as:
vtjIi5"^u-JjU mouqad'dis kitab 'The Holy Book = The Bible'.
§ 517. The Persian method, when both words are
either Arabic or Persian, is to put first the noun and
afterwards the adjective, with an esre between them:
u-JJi* ^"SMta'bi mouqad'dis the Book the Holy = the Bible.
jjj,a. JL sal'i jedid Hhe new year".
262 r*A u-J-> Lesson 38. V\r
§ 518. Remarks: 1. If the first member of the
construction, i. e. the noun, end in elif or vav used as
a vowel (-a, -on), instead of the ordinary esre, & ye (-y-)
is inserted for the sake of euphony (§ 53).
Instead of :>lo» HI pasha-i-JBaghdad, we must write
:>lj^> (£\Z,\t pasha yi Baghdad cthe Pasha of Baghdad'.
*jl»- (iVL bala'yi Tchane. The upper (part) of the house.
j*£ (ij— jU- charsou'yi hebir. The Grand Bazar.
JVote. The original Persian word j-jU- charsou (a square) is
commonly spelt in Ottoman as u£jU. ' jtj^ charshi', charshou.
§ 519. 2. If the first member of the construction,
i. e. the noun, end in the vowels ye and he (-€, -<?), a
hemze (-y-) is placed over the final letter for the sake of
euphony (§ 53):

\j^°y *jf'j Persian Compound Adjectives.
§ 524. The simple adjectives of the Persian language
are much used in Turkish; as: ©L~, siyalt black, J I al
red, Ju bed bad, jlL- ^/?c/ white.
§ 525. The compound adjectives of the Persian
language are formed in two ways: either by the addition
of particles, or by joining two words together.
A. The Derivative Adjective, formed by the addition
of particles to nouns.
§ 526. The most common derivative adjectives used
in Turkish are made by the addition of the following
particles to Arabic or Persian nouns (§§ 149, 579):
§ 527. I. The letter ^ ye (-i), signifies relation. If
the word ends in the vowels I l ^ ' d [-a; A\ -e, -a), they
are changed into j (-V-), and afterwards the ye is added :
J-vUC\ ingliz Englishman <iJ\LxJl inglizi English.
268 r\ ^j* Lesson 39. rlY
pj^\ efrenj a European c^v^ efrenji European.
a. Jic agZ mind Jic agZi mental.
urt». c/u'n China J^>. c7u'w£ chinaware.
a. Lo dunya world tO?-5 dunyavi worldly.
§ 528. II. Ail -awe signifies relation and resem-
blance. If the word ends in the vowel he (-e), this is
changed into f| (-g-): and if it ends in j vowel (-ou) a ^
(-?/-) is inserted between the word and particle; as:
oli. shah' king ^lUli. shahane royal.
eJuj bende servant aJ£jJL> bendegiane as a servant,
a. j-xc adoM enemy *.'>[> jjs- adouyane as an enemy.
§ 529. III. The terminations o\ ' J\j ' j^ ban, van,
-kiar, -giar form nouns denoting 'doer, keeper5, etc.
jjLtlj bagli-ban keeper of vineyard. jKo.a4» khidmetkiar a servant.
j^jJjIjo- khudavendigiar the sovereign, the Sultan.
J^JJ^/„ perverdigiar the Nourisher (God), Providence.
j£mi yadgiar, yadigiar a remembrance, memento.
§ 530. IV. The prefixes t wa-, J^ &i- mean
'without5, and denote the absence of something; na- is
used with adjectives, hi- with nouns:
ajL.1; nama'liim unknown. iJUi napdk unclean.
ojUc-j bichare unfortunate. J-^^ nakhosh unpleasant.
UjJ> bivefa inconstant (friend), unreliable.
e\js-[': o\jL khah'nakhah willingly or unwillingly.
§ 531. V. p* hem- prefixed to a noun expresses
companionship.
(Jj^zJ* hemsheh'ri fellow-citizen. ^^J" hemjins' homogeneous.
oj\t£> hemsheere who sucks the same milk, a sister.
§ 532. VI. Adjectives are also formed by the
Y*\\ Persian Compound Adjectives. 269
addition of U c J-j ' ^ ' ^ ' ^Jt ' jj or jb -asa, -vesh,
-een, -mend, -nak, -ver or -var.
L-lLJ nisa-asa womanlike. {J-jf meh'vesh like the moon = bright.
Cni"l atesheen fiery. X»i*a>. his semend partaker.
a.p.iJLP ghamnalc sorrowful. -^^/ ferah'nak cheerful.
j\j-^»\ iimmidvar hopeful. j/»V janver (wild) animal.
jjJsa • -O^aa hunerver, hunermend skilful.
§ 533. VII. By doubling some words and inserting
an elif between them, fulness or multifariousness may
be expressed:
J^ji ber fiber breast to breast; together; equal.
*_JU ' JUVl» MbaUb, malamal (lip to lip) brimful.
dllj&Jj ' tjJ>^J> f'J^J' rengiareng, gunagun, nevanev varied
in hue, variegated.
B. Compound Adjectives composed of two words.
§ 534. The compound adjectives obtained by the
union of two words are generally formed either: 1. of
a noun and a participle, or the root of a verb, 2. of
ah adjective and a noun, or, 3. of two nouns.
They may consist of two Persian words, or of an
Arabic and a Persian word, or of two Arabic words.
§ 535. a. Adjectives formed of a noun and a
participle or the root of a verb.
J.> dil heart, j> bir take, captivate: j&* dilber enchanting.
jJ^ meded help, ^j res arrive: u-J-^ mededres helper.
Al~£JL].i dilshilceste broken hearted. See also: § 556.
§ 536. b. Adjectives formed of an adjective
and a noun.
j> bou odour j~~j*- khosh'bou sweet scented, odorous.
^,7 tfhi empty c-J^" tehidest empty-handed, deprived.
§ 537. c. Adjectives formed from two nouns.
j*>\ ahou gazelle : r.i>-^l ahoucheshm gazelle -eyed, attractive.
270 r^ ^rjz Lesson 39. TV*
.jo sheer lion: J-i^n^ sheerdil lion-hearted,
(jlita. + cP ) jl-J-JS" gulazar rosy-cheeked; Eose (pr. name).
§ 538. Many such compound words lose their
meaning as an adjective and are considered as com-
pound nouns:
<C~.jJS giildeste a bunch of flowers, a bouquet.
jCc^- seraslcer head of the army, a commander-in-chief.
<Jull*Ua! ''ulllj.lli nizam'name, qanouriname a code of laws.
The Degrees of Comparison.
§ 539. The Comparative is obtained by the addition
of } -ter to the simple form of the adjective, and the
Superlative by adding &} -tereen:
Jo bed bad: J±t ted' ter worse: i>.^rju bedtereen worst.
VL bala high: ^/VIj balater higher: Cj'.S^. balatereen highest.

The Persian Verb.
§ 545. The Persian Infinitive ends in ^o -den
or $ -ten: ^[tf Mshaden to open, ^jjl^j perestiden
to worship.
§ 546. None of the tenses of the Persian Verb
are used in Ottoman. The Hoots of the verbs are very
frequently employed in the formation of compound adjec-
tives (§ 535); as: Z*~>j perest, root of perestiden, c~*j ^
pout perest idol-worshipper.
§ 547. Only one Derivative of the Infinitive and
rAt The Persian Verb. 281
three of the Verbal Roots are used in Ottoman, which
are the following.
I. The Objective Participle. Jj*L« ,*J
§ 548. The Objective or Past Participle is made
by changing the last letter of the infinitive into he
vowel {-e) (§§ 402, 604):
0->b daden to give: ob dade given.
wmJsJL shikeste'n to break: <.:Jxi shikeste broken,
u^o deede'n to see: oJuo deede seen; eye.
II. The Subjective Participle, i^l* ^J
§ 549. The Subjective or Present Participle is made
by the addition of ejG_ -ende to the Root. If the Root
ends in an elif or vav vowel (-a, -ou), a ye (-*/-) is
inserted (§ 53).
ij\j»- khan read, sing: o-Xlilji. bhanende singer.
jb cf«r hold: oJujta darende bearer.
ic )ithna show: sXilt niimayende who shows.
jL- 5rt^ make: oJojL sazende composer.
III. The Verbal Noun, jju^ ^J
§ 550. The Verbal Nouns are made by the addition
of Ji -ish to the Root. If the Root ends in elif or vav
vowel (-a, -ou), a ^ {-y-) is inserted for the sake of
euphony (§§ 53, 288).
j j rev go: _-jj revish going.
ob tfan know: ^b danlsh knowledge.
So also we have: ^J-A~.\ asayish peace, JLjU niimayish a
show. JJ»jL— sfypartsh ordering, order.
§ 551. There is another kind of verbal noun which
is obtained by the removal of J -en from the end of
the Infinitive:
282
■ut wJ* Lesson 41.
r/sf
^>[zfkushaden to open: iliT' Ushad opening.
CJ£.\X\ endakUSn to throw: ^>\X\ endakht throwing, propelling.
C£»jJ firoukhtin to sell: oijj firoum selling.
8 552 Verbal nouns are also formed by adding
two shortened infinitives of different verbs or the short-
ened infinitive and the root of the same verb together:
j.i j*T ' jte^J cJifamddshM, gSshtougusar a coming and going.
fj cJ'S'guft ou gu talk; chat; scandal.
jjl- j i\>dad ou sited selling and buying, trade.
IV. Verbal Adjectives. ^Jla C^p
§ 553. The Verbal Adjectives are formed by the
addition of I ' 'J -«, -an to the root of the verb; as:
l;U dana wise, savant (§§436,606).
' u^yr Jouyan tnat seeks-
\/j ' obJ ritan that goes, fluent.
,jOJ Kw«» trembling.

8 554 The following table contains most of the
Persian Verbal Roots, which are current in Ottoman.
Thev are used only in compound words, and never
used alone. Slightly changing their meaning m compo-
sition they help to form adjectives (§§ o3o, oob).

Substitution. JljJ Ibdal.
§ 558. Substitution of one letter for another rather
rarely occurs in the Persian language. This change
of one letter into another does not produce any change
Turkish Conv. -Grammar. 19
290 «uf u-J-> Lesson 42. r^
of meaning: For instance, <mJ b is changed into j v
in some words; as: VI bala high == Vlj i?a?a high, aX
tube frying pan = ©jt tava frying pan.
§ 559. Substitution occurs often in the following
letters :
^ to uj : & = p jljL bazar market: j\j\ipazar.
i » j> : d = s a.vjL.-Ai- kludmet service: c**Jc* khizmet*
j*\>- jadou wizard: j'^ jazou.

jlxl>. khunkiar king: jfc£l>. hiinkiar..
Omission. ^Ji>. Hazf.
§ 560. The Omission of letters is very frequent
in the Persian language, without changing the meaning
of the word:
The original word ©11 shah' king5 is written as a!L-
shell cking5. ^Ujl efghan 'lamentation' is written also
,jUJ fighan. <u meh for DU wa/i 'month', and 4> geh
for JS gwili place.

vI^a? The Gender of Arabic Nouns.
§ 562. There is no gender in Turkish or Persian,
but there is in Arabic. With respect to gender Arabic
nouns are divisible into . two classes : a) those which
are only masculine; b) those which are onhr feminine.
There is no neuter gender in the language.
X^o The Gender of Arabic Nouns. 295
§ 563. That a noun is of the feminine gender [key-
fiyet) may be ascertained either from its signification
or from its termination.
a. The feminine nouns which are such because of
their signification, are all words denoting fern ales; as:
«wJ> ' s_Juj ' <<ulU Hadije, Zeyneb, Many a (fern. prop, names).
»jj j valide a mother, u-jjc arous a bride, ^.ij bint a daughter.
b. The feminine nouns and adjectives which are
such by reason of their termination, are all substan-
tives and adjectives ending in & or » ' Zj ' I [-&, -et,
-at, -t. -a), when those terminations do not belong to
the root; as:
^>Ju^. memlekH a country, c^=- jai-net paradise, <u-x^--.
mah'keme a court, \j^ hubra greater (§§ 29 c, 32 c, 610).
But *L ma water, O^CL sukut silence, <ulj tSnbeeh
warning, z^3 vaqit time: are not feminine, because
their terminations are radical; i. e. I ' £j ' © (-a, -t, -h)
belong to the root (§ 587).
§ 564. Masculine nouns and adjectives are usually
rendered feminine bv the mere addition of the letters
4 _
he, te (e, t), which are called feminine letters:
Jic azeem great: 4.«.Ji& azeeme great (fern.).
j.». jedd a grandfather: oA> jedde a grandmother.
jr-| ekh, ukh a brother: >z,L\ ukhf a sister.
^ ben, bin a son : cJu binf a daughter.
§ 565. Xote. When the noun is feminine, the
adjective must agree with it, and be also of the femi-
nine gender (§ 656).

The Number of Arabic Nouns. j^jT
§ 566. The Arabic language has three numbers
(kemiyyet): Singular, Dual and Plural, and three cases
(hal) in each number: Nom., Ace, and Genitive.
§ 567. Note. Of the three Arabic cases, only the
Nom. and Ace. of the Singular and the Ace. of the Dual
and Plural are in use in Ottoman, the Ace. of the Dual
and Plural being used in place of the Nominative, and
that too in a form shortened by the omission of the
final short vowels. The Ace. Sing, is used only as an
adverb in Ottoman (§682). In the following Lessons the
short final vowels and everything else not used in Ottoman
are omitted, but the student will find them in Arabic
phrases adopted into the language as single words
(§ 666—670).
Dual. ^jlH Tesniye.
§ 568. The Dual indicates two things of the same
kind and is formed by adding J\ -<*n and CX. ~^Vn
to the singular. [Compare with the an of Persian (§509)] ; as :
T\V The Gender and Number of Arabic Nouns. 297
J>-L- sahil sea-coast:
Crtis-l- ' u^-L- sahileyri, saliilan two coasts.
JlM suls one third :
uiiLJ ' jjlfli sidseyri, sulsan two thirds.
^Ls qoutb the Pole:
C^-ks ' 0^ qoutbeyri, qontban the two Poles.
§ 569. If the word end in he (-e) feminine (hayi
tSenis\ it is changed into te feminine (-£-) (tayi teenis),
before the dual termination is added (§ 32 c, 564, 592):
4.it_; nusklie a copy: jOeJ nusklieteyn .
aL1~* sefine a ship: i> .::.&-. sefineteyn.
§ 570. The following duals are much in use,
although they do not indicate two things exactly
similar to one another:
ui-lMj * uljii valideyti ', ebeveyri the parents. (Sing. jJIj ;^j1).
ilrt»»jj zevjeyri husband and wife. (Sing, rjj)-
>^r>-5 qamereyn the sun and moon. (Sing. ^-«-i).
i>*^ hare'meyn the sacred cities of Mecca and Medina.
Note that they do not mean 'two fathers', 'two husbands'
and 'two moons'.

paragraph. 9. sherik companion. 10. varis heir. 11. merqoum
the above said. 12. jiimle clause. 13. taraf a side. 14. 6a/ir a sea.
The Plurals in Arabic, ^js- Jem.
§ 571. There are two kinds of plurals in Arahic:
a. One of these has only two forms, and is called
the regular or sound plural (pluralis sanus), because
298 <tr u-J-> Lesson 43. r«^A
all the vowels and cod sonants of the singular are retained
in it [Jemi Miizekkeri Salim, Jemi Miiennesi Salim); ex:
j^U me-mour an officer: Cx.jj* '.« me-mou-reeri officers.
b. The other which has various forms is called
the broken or irregular plural (pluralis fractus),
because it is more or less altered from the singular
by the insertion or elision of consonants, or the change
of vowels ; ex. : *;JL* sefeene a ship : •jL- or J; IL- sufen
or sefayin 'ships5. Here the form of the noun is broken.
So also \L shey a thing: *Lll esh'ya things.
§ 572. The different ways of forming the irregular
Arabic plurals are so numerous and complex that a
separate chapter is requisite to explain them, which will
be found further on (Lesson 51, § 637 — 652).
The Regular Masculine Plural. iL* f±* *jr
§ 573. The pluralis sanus of masculine nouns is
formed by adding the termination jj -oon and jj,
-een\ as: A^a muslim a Moslem : ^>J «'jjiL* mm-
limeeri, muslimoon Moslems. \*y mumin a believer:
ij<Uy* ' i)y+Ay* mumineeri , muminoori believers.
§ 574. This way of forming the plural is employed
only in the case of names of rational beings, therefore
jlJ esed ca lion', ^:>C« miktoub fa letter cannot be
j£JuJ ' oyjlyCi* esedeen, mehtouboon: because they cannot
reason or speak (§ 578).
§ 575. But the plurals of 4l~ ' ilc sene 'year 3,
alem 'universe' are exceptions: they are £)C** sineen,
sencen, J^IU alcmcen. The plural of > ben cson, child
is Ocj ' Oyj •* but it becomes a_j &ewee when in con-

struction with a noun following; as: J^j—I ^ ' (Ol ^

does not occur in Ottoman.

audience. 9. mujrim criminal, sinner. 10. havari apostle of our
Lord). 11. sariq a thief. 12. resold an apostle, prophet.
The Regular Feminine Plural. iL, £^y pjr
§ 576. The regular way of forming the plural of
Arabic feminine nouns and adjectives (Jemi Muennesi
Salim) is by dropping the final * he, Zt te (-e, -f, -et) of
the singular (§§ 563 — 64) and adding £j -at to the word.
4_Ji ■ muslime a female Moslem: o'Ji — « muslimat Moslem women.
o^t semere a fruit: CjIJc semerat fruits.
c^OU a-lamet a sign: oU>U- alamat signs.
§ 577. If the word end in Zj\ -<#, the Za -t is
dropped and elif is changed into vav (-V-):
vZj\z zat person: olji zevat.
I'Xa sdlat prayer: ^\j^ salarat.
tlAy berat an edict: ^Ij^ beravat edicts, firmans.
§ 578. Some of the masculine nouns denoting-
things which have not reason or speech, form their
plurals by adding £j\ -at. as they cannot take the
regular masculine plural (§ 574):

2LJI The Nisbe.
§ 579. The Noun of Relationship [en Nisbe, as it
is called in Arabic), is formed by adding the termination
^ -ee to the noun, from which it is derived. It denotes
that a person or thing belongs to or is connected there-
with (in respect of origin, family, birth, sect, trade etc.)
(Compare the Turkish and Persian Nisbes §§ 149, 526):
^•j\ Ermen Armen (a fabulous Armenian hero):
J.jl Ermenee belonging to Armen, Armenian.
i_r*J- shems the sun: 0~~ Jt, she'msee' solar,
j-io dimUhq Damascus: \~*z dhnhhqee a native of Damascus.
»l;UIlL« Mi'da-la-at: Remarks.
§ 580. a. The feminine termination of nouns
o or O is omitted before adding this termination; as:
«iC meJc'ke Mecca: jC mek'kee' a native of Mecca.
c-*— t tabiyat nature: {j^\s tabiyee' natural.
b. But if there is an elif preceding O, it is retained:
304 -L-, ltjj Lesson 44. r»t
olS £a£ person: J\j zatee' personal.
oU hay at life: jLs- hayatee vital.
c. If at the end of foreign (non-Arabic) proper
names there is a he (-a), it is changed into rar (-!■-):
a_J|^3 Fr ansa France: iSj^\^s Fransavee French.
iSjA>j^\ Ameriqavee American: fSyj^\ Edirnevee a native of
Adrianople.
d. When any Arabic word ends in short or long
elif, it is changed into vav (§ 29 c, d):
ll** ( <j**) man a meaning; spirit: iJjI*a manevee spiritual.
Lo dunya world: ^jz'-* dunyavee worldly.
s-Uod Beyza the town of Beyza: cijUau beyzavee a native of Be\vza.
0 & Zsa Jesus: <£j~~f" Isavee Christian.
e. The tens of the numerals are made in the way
which will soon be shown (§ 689).
f. There are other nouns of Relationship, the
formation of which is irregular:
aoI badiye a desert: <_$jJu bedevee inhabiting the desert, a
Beduin; a savage.
Ox. me dine a city: \±±a we'de'nee' dwelling in the city, civilised.
[urban.
<L~ sine year: <SJ~~> se'nevee' yearly.
Oj»-| oukhouvvet brotherhood: [Sj>-\ akhavvee brotherly.
*L wia water: jU mayee watery ; fluid; blue.
g. Some nouns take an addition of J>1 before ^ -ee.
rjj rouh spirit: <3^-JJ rouhanee spiritual.
p-~>. jism body: iile~^- jismanee corporal.
Other examples are:
jl^Ht ibranee a Hebrew: '<^>\.j~' siiryanee a Syrian.
"ii.i^i'ij ' /-^ i i ";, • 'fa Nazarene,
(il-MS kildanee a Chaldaean: <Jl^r*aj nasranee < Christian
h. A noun of Relationship is never formed from
the plural, even when the sense might seem to demand
it, but always from the singular: for instance words
r« o
The iSisbe in Arabic. 305
like ^-o^U ' lMjCj^" memourinee, tahriratee 'relative to
officers or letters* are never used, but their siDgular is
used ^j^L* ' 'SjLj-^- memouree, tahriree 'relative to
an officer or letter i. e. official, literary'.
i. xUthough this rule is very strictly observed in
Arabic, yet in recent Ottoman literature there are some
terms in current use formed from plurals, but they are
regarded as barbarisms:
*.Oj;=w toy qouvve'yi jounoudeeye the military forces.
<.Jj.i CjIjaU* mou-a-lieddti duveleeye the Treaties of the Powers.
*-«_7~.j o-*?- jemeeyye'ti rousouweeye the Taxation Committee.
The words joanoud, duvel, rousoum, are the plurals
of jiind army, devlet 'empire' and rcsm tax.
The Abstract Noun. \^a ^J Ismi liana.
§ 581. Abstract nouns are formed by adding
Zj ' o (ml/et, -ye) to the end of Nouns of Relationship ;
or j^j ' * (-iyet, -iye) to the end of nouns and ad-
jectives (§§ 163, 541):
i£\j-*z> nasranee a Christian: ^-^Jl^r-^sJ nasraneeyet Christianity.
(j-L. medenee civilised: s^jJ-L. medeneeyet civilisation.
j>- liurr free: ^J^r- luir'riyet freedom.
*«*■ jem collecting: c^u^- jem'iyet an assembly.
Also:
a,j^. mejidiye the coin struck by Sultan Mejid.
AjjJL belediye the municipality, the city court.
aJ^o doukhouliye admission fee, entrance-money.
§ 582. If 4. ' o (-e, -ye, -a) is added to the end
of Arabic Derivative Adjectives and Participles, and used
alone without any noun to modify. The feminine
Adjectives and Participles thus formed are regarded as
feminine substantives (§ 421):

being formed in the Arabic manner from Turkish, Persian
or European words and not from Arabic words; (§ 507):

The Arabic Infinitive (Masdar).
§ 584. There is no limit to the number of words
which the Ottoman language borrows from the Arabic.
The number of Arabic words to be learnt would thus
involve a great deal of study, if they were not derived
from certain roots which are, of course, very much less
numerous. If the student can master the system by
which Arabic derivatives are derived from their roots
(mad'cU, mad'deyi asliye), his labour will be vastly
diminished. After learning a certain number of roots,
he will at once recognize and remember a large number
of words formed from them. The Arabic system of
derivation is extremely regular, logical and beautiful;
although at first it appears somewhat complicated.
Almost every word in Arabic may be referred to
r ) \ The Arabic Infinitive. 311
a significant root, consisting of either three or four
letters, the triliterals being by far the more common.
In European languages, significant roots are irregular
in form, and the grammar of those languages treats
only of prefixes and affixes, by which the meaning of
the word is modified. Thus in English we add the
termination -er to express the agent of a verb, and -ing
to express the Present Participle Active or the Gerund;
as: make, maker, making. In Arabic, however, such
modifications are obtained not only by prefixing or affixing,
but by inserting letters between those of the root. The
root J*j fafl signifying action, is taken as the typical
root for exhibiting these modifications, and the formulae
thus obtained are called 'the measures of words'. For
instance, the insertion of an elif between the first and
second radical, and the punctuation of the later with
an esre, give the sense of the Agent or Active participle :
thus Uj fayl becomes bl$ fa-9-il 'one who does5 and
this word is the measure upon which all other "agents"
of this kind are formed. It is in fact, a mere formula,
like the letters used in Algebra; for as (a 4- b -4- c)
may represent (2 + 3 + 4), (5 + 6 + 7), or any
other number; so for the triliteral root l*£ in , U&, we
may substitute any other triliteral root and obtain the
same modification of meaning; as:
Jl3 qatl to kill: J.7 15 qatil a murderer.
Ji& film wisdom: Jit ^cilim wise;
where Ul$ and lie are said to be the Uli of the
triliteral roots to which they respectively belong.
The Arab grammarians use this word l*» as a
paradigm, and every change in and addition to the root
is made on this model. But as the utterance of the
second radical [y] is very difficult for Europeans, therefore
we adapt the word & faql as its equivalent, since it
is easier to pronounce; using the measures' of U» also
when necessarv.
312 to i^rj* Lesson 45. r\r
J* j- harf 'letter is of the measure G* faql, that
is to say it is measured, weighed or balanced on the
word JlS faql, having the same quantity of letters and
the same vowel.
§ 585 a. The root jSin Arabic is pointed with three
ustuns, as: & faqala, which means ehe fanned5, this
being the third person singular Past tense; but for
shortness' sake we always render it into English by
the Infinitive or Verbal Noun1 (§§ 272, 614).
§ 585 b. The Arabic Infinitives (= Masdar) are
divisible, in respect of their origin, into two classes:
Primitive or Simple and Derivative or Augmented.
§ 586. The Primitive Infinitives are those which
have no servile letters in them, or even if they have the
serviles do not change the meaning of the word; as:
Jai nazar to look; J^o dciklil 'to enter' are simple
or primitive forms, because there is no augment or
servile letter in them. But Zi & nezaret to look, Jy>->
(loul'houl or jJUo dekhaUt 'to enter' also are called
Primitives; because although there are servile letters
CI'Cj'j), yet they do not change the meaning:
thev are only different forms of Ji and Uo.
§ 587. The Servile Letters are (<£ * j 0 f ,j- O 0>
which are also called 'changers or letters of augmentation',
because they change or add to the meaning of the word.
§ 588. The Derivative Infinitives are those in-
finitives which have servile letters inserted in them,
1 The second vowel of the third person Sing. Past tense is
sometimes i = JJi faqila, sometimes ou = Jls faqoula, instead
of being as here a = 3-^ faqala: but this does not concern the
student of Ottoman.
V)r" The Arabic Infinitive. 313
which change the meaning of the word more or
less. For instance the word jltl] \ intizar cto look after,
to wait'; J Wo I. idkhal to cause to enter, to insert', are
derivatives; because their ground forms Jai nazar and
lio ddkl mean 'to look' and rto enter' respectively,
and the augmentative letters I ' I ' Zj have changed
the meaning (§§ 259, 613).
A. The Primitive Triliterals. ^ £■ <],%' ^xaa
§ 589. There are a great number of Verbal Nouns
or Infinitives which are derived directly from the trili-
teral roots. Those that are most frequently used in
Turkish belong to one of 23 ''measures". The root
Gi is taken as the 'measure' or formula (= jjj t'ezn),
and we shall assume that all these 23 forms can be
derived from it; although they are not all in use.
Every root is supposed to have the power of producing
all these derivatives, though, in fact, sometimes only
a few such are actually formed from a given root.
C'Ulla* Mutorla-at Remarks.
§ 590. If the third radical is j or ^, in the
measures 15, 16 and 17 it is changed into (*) at the end,
which is often omitted (§ 705 d); as: ^lo ' {£\ >- * S^
<cb are changed into *!;>. = I >- l ►& = \& 4 *Lj = b
*lo=: lo, the roots being y i£ >• ' ^ ' ,£-} ' yo *
§ 591. Those letters which have the mark of
reduplication, are written twice in the root, without the
mark ( ); as: Zj-^Z shid-det severity, root V/ $sL sheaede.
§ 592. The feminine letters Cj and 4. ' I are sub-
stituted for each other in the termination of nouns:

Nouns derived from Primitive Triliteral Verbs.
§ 596. Certain nouns are derived from the Infini-
tives or from the roots of verbs, and may therefore
be dealt with in connexion with the latter. The
principal forms used in Ottoman are three; and the
commoner measures for these three are seven in number.
They all begin with a mim pointed by ustun or esre.
1. Nouns with Mim. <^ jJi^k
§ 597. Besides the simple forms already described
above, another verbal noun almost equivalent to them
in meaning is formed by adding a mim to the radicals.
It has four forms:

J^i *jj Arabic Participles.
§ 600. The Arabic Participles composed from the
Primitive Triliteral verbs are much used in Ottoman;
they are six in number (§§ 395, 548 — 549).
Subjective Participle. J^l* fV^l
§ 601. The Subjective Participle of the Primitive
Triliteral Verbs, also called the Noun of Agency, is
formed of the measure JSte faqil, i. e. by inserting an
elif (-a-) between the first and second radical, and
putting an esre (~i-) under the second radical:
jJii- khalq creation: Vj^U- ! jj! U* Jchaliq creator.
sirqat theft: *ij^r»! Jj^ sariq thief.
jrt
k_jLo Tcitab writing: V^.:j ' ^_.To hiatib clerk.
J_«i /eeZ work: Vj_*J i J&Li fa^il agent, doer.
§ 602. BemarJcs. a. If the second radical is ^ or
j, it changes into (* , -y-) (§ 591).
jj^ devr to turn: Vjji !
Jj\* = ^b dayir turning; about.
0^*- seyelan to flow: Vj---- • Jj t— = J^~, s«?/*Z flowing.
§ 603. b. When the first radical is elif, one of the
elifs is omitted and a mee?c2 is put on the second elif
(§§47, 701 d):
j*\ emr to command: V^ \ • _^*U = ^»l amir a commander.
o^j\ i%an to follow: V^l • ^J U = JH citi following.

The Derivative Triliteral Infinitives of Arabic.
A3 Jo *yA /J^J jJUa^
§ 613. The Derivative Triliteral Infinitives (Masdari
Sidasiyi Mezcedun feehi) are those words which are
formed by the insertion or addition of servile letters to
the root to form new verbs with certain changes of
meaning. The meaning of the Simple or Primitive
Infinitives may be extended or modified in various ways
by the addition of one or more letters to the root
(§ 288, 588).
§ 614. There are nine measures (Bab) of these
Derivatives much used in Ottoman, the first of which is
the second voice of Infinitives ; the first voice being the
Root of the Primitive Infinitives (§§ 272, 585 a).
II. J-«Lj = J-JwJ tefqeel.
§ 615. This measure is formed by prefixing the
letter £j te to the radical and putting a long ^ -ee-
after the second letter.
It intensifies the meaning of the root and makes
the meaning, if intransitive, transitive:
J ^JjJ* khavf et.' fear (intr.): X'Ljj^- ! v-*j=e.J takh-veef to terrify.
cJUei hhejalet shame: V'3i-*- • Jfep&J takh-jeel to make
„ i :, " " . ^ ashamed.
JxJ- shelcl form, shape: V 3^-^ • Jr^-~-" tesh-Tceel to form.
rrr The Derivative Triliteral Infinitives. 333
§ 616. If the last letter of the radical be a j or
^ it changes into d l 4. ' 4, -ye:
^>j flyj saf'vtt purity: V jj~^> '. (j.^aJ) = 4 — L*aJ tasfeei/e to

«■ Li j ma satisfaction :v u^>5 • C^^J) = ^-rf^;-" tarzeeyS
apology.
§ 617. Some other nouns also are formed in
accordance with this measure:
<jy?w te'jribe temptation : <*y^ tefriqa a feuilleton.
*>Jy tehlike danger: ojJU taqdime offering.
ojTjJ tezkire memorandum; a short letter; note; a passport.

IT. J\lil '== JSrt ifqal.
§ 619. This is formed by putting an 1 with esre
(i-) before the root, and another elif (-a-) between the
second and third radicals. This gives a transitive sense
to intransitive verbs and a doubly transitive or causal
sense to those which are already transitive (§§ 262 — 263):
J^io doukhoul to enter (intr.): Vjio ! JUoi idkhal to cause
> > \I77> ^° " *° en^er, push.

The Participles of Derivative Infinitives.
§ 633. We have seen how the Subjective and
Objective Participles are formed from the Primitive or
Simple forms of the Infinitive (§§ 601, 604). We shall
now consider the formation of both these Participles in
the above mentioned nine Derivative Infinitives.
§ 634. There are four rules which govern the
formation of all these Participles of the nine Derivative
Infinitives.
a. The Participles of the verbs of the measure
, \~»Z tefqeel are formed in the following manner: The
r^v The Participles of Derivative Infinitives. 347
servile letters Zj1 i£ are dropped; a mim with edtre
(a mu-, mow-) is prefixed to the remainder of the
word: the second radical must be doubled by a sliedde
(w), and the last syllable must have an esre; this forms
the Subjective Participle.
To find the Objective Participle change the esre
into ustun. (Vide No. II in the Table.)
b. The Participles of the derivatives of the measure
A&Xi* mufaqale are made as follows: Omit the last he
(-e) and put an esre on the last syllable; this forms the
Subjective Participle.
Change the esre to ustun and you will obtain the
Objective Participle. (Vide No. Ill in the Table.)
c. The Participles of the remaining two measures
beginning with Cj (te-), are made in the following way.
Prefix a mim with edtre at the beginning and put an
esre on the last syllable ; this is the Subjective Participle.
To find the Objective Participle change the last esre
into ustun. (Vide Nos. V and VI in the Table.)
d. In those Infinitives which have an elif in the
first and last syllables, the elifs must be dropped, a
mim with edtre must be prefixed to the remainder of
the word and the last syllable must have an esre. This
forms the Subjective Participle of these derivatives. To
form the Objective Participle change that esre into
tistiln, (Vide Nos. IV, VII— X in the Table.)
§ 635. The Participles of the Quadriliterals are
made simply by adding a mini with edtre to the beginning
and punctuating the last syllable with esre: this forms
the Subjective Participle. Change that esre to ustun,
vou obtain the Objective Participle. (Vide No. Q in the
Table.)
Note. Notice that JSton- initial is the sign of the measure
Mufaqale (§ 618) and the Participles of Der. Inf.; while 3Ie-, Mi-
is the sign of N. with mim and Mefoul (§§ 597, 604).

Broken or Irregular Plurals.
§ 636. The Regular or Sound Plurals are made
(as we have seen) by the addition of jr, -een (m.) or
CJ -at (f.) to the Singular, without any change in the
structure of the words. But in the case of Irregular
or Broken Plurals (Jem'i Mukesser) the structure or the
form of the Singular is broken, as has been stated in
a previous lesson (§ 571).
It is impossible to give all the measures of Broken
plurals here, because they are very numerous. But
those which are in common use in Ottoman, may be
formed into the following groups.
§ 637. Nouns of the measures JS • *1S • J IS form

The Subj. Participles which end in ^ -i, form their
plurals as follows:
S. Jlj ra?i governor: PI. = SVj vCilat : 0*ilS #adi judge:
SUJ qoudat • <ijlj historian = Sljj • ^Ic- a rebel = oU^ .
§ 644. The plurals of the nouns derived from the
Subjective Participle by the addition of © or * ' Cj (-e,
-et) [§ 582], are formed according to the first measure
fevaqil: as:

§ 646. The plural of the nouns formed from Adjectives
of Quality by the addition of » or a. ' O (-e, -et, -at)
[§ 582] is made on the model J> u* feqayil; as:
o^J> jezire island = J»ljrj« jezayir islands : <uJaj vazife

khazayin ' v^.JLi>. = ,Jj Ua» • ^L-i = Jj L5 ! a1^^> = ■— aJ W.o .
§ 647. The most important classes of nouns that
form their plurals regularly are the Derivative Triliteral
Infinitives and the Participles formed from those In-
finitives. All these measures and their Participles take
the plural in Cx. -een (m.) and ,1,1 -at (f.) [§§ 573—78].
The General Measure.
§ 648. All original Quadriliterals and most words
in which the Triliteral root is increased by one or more
letters1, form their broken plurals on one and the same
model, and this consisting of three syllables. The
first of these syllables has an ustiin, the second takes
an elif and the third has an esre for its vowel sound
(.— \ — = -& -a -i-). If there is an elif or vav in
the last syllable, it is changed into ye (-6 -a -ee); as:

The Agreement of Adjectives with Nouns.
§ 653. The union of two Arabic nouns, or of an
Arabic noun with an Arabic adjective (Izafet) according
to the Persian system has been already mentioned.
The examples given (§§ 517, 565) were all masculine
and singular, both adjectives and nouns.
362 or ^rj* Lesson 52. r^r
§ 654. When an Arabic adjective is placed before
a noun, in Ottoman it generally remains invariable,
whether the nouns which it qualifies are masculine or
feminine, singular or plural; as:
lco j*>- khayr douva a blessing: oL* <JU ali hissiyat noble
feelings.
§ 655. But when the Arabic noun is feminine or
plural and the adjective follows the noun, then the ad-
jective must agree with it in number and gender.
§ 656. Read carefully the following rules:
1. roasc. sing, nouns require the adjective to be masc. singular.
2. fern. sing. » » » » & » fem. singular.
3. masc. dual » » » » » » masc. dual.
A , t /regular masc.plural

5. fem. plural » » » » » » fem. plural or sing.

•J*> j» »_* ,*- The Arabic Definite Article.
§ 661. In the Turkish and Persian languages there
is no article either definite or indefinite; but in Arabic
there are definite and indefinite articles (Harfi Tariff
Tenveen) which are used in Ottoman with Arabic terms.
The Ind. Article or Tenveen is of three kinds : en, -in, -oun,
applied to the end of the words (§ 48); and the}' are used
in Ottoman as adverbs. The definite article is Jl el cthe':
^jbdll el-hitab the book, j^JI el-beyt cthe house'.
§ 662. The Arabic Letters are 28 in number, (^
r ' 3 i & being peculiar to Turkish and Persian): 14 of
these are called lunar and the other 14 solar letters.
rnv The Arabic Definite Article. 367
§ 663. The Solar Letters (4 JL J>jj- Houroufou
Shemseeye) are: £j £1 z i j j 0- J"- js Jp i J* J 0-
The Lunar Letters (* ji ^Jjr?- Houroufou Qame-
ra^e) are : ' y CCCt^ ^ ^ f ^ * ^f
§ 664. When the Arabic Article is added to a
word beginning with a solar letter, to avoid harshness
of sound, the lam is assimilated in pronunciation to the
following solar consonant for euphony, and a sliedde (w) is
put over the latter: jyjl es-sabr the patience; ^jjl
ed'-din the religion; *}CJI es-selam the salutation: and
not el-sahr, el-din, el-selam; also:
*z*+~J\ es-semt zenith: pi. Ojt ...H es-sumoat azimuth.
§ 665. But the pronunciation of the lam is retained
when the Article is attached to a word beginning with
a lunar letter:
{j^.\ el-haqq the right. ^L\ el-jebr Algebra.
JsexJl el-kuhiil alcohol. Jill el-qali alkali.
L*xJI el-kimya alchemy. (J-^Vl el-inbiq alembic.
oUdl el-idade alidade. J^ill el-ghoul the thief (Algol, the star).
«-I^J-l el-hamra the Red (castle), Alhambra.
Tc-alll el-munaqqah almanack.
§ 666. Almost all Arabic words properly end in
a vowel: ustun (-e) is the sign of the Accusative, esre
(-i) is the sign of the Genitive, and eotre (-a) the sign
of the Nominative; also these are left in Ottoman, yet
they are retained in Arabic sentences used in Ottoman.
When a word having the Article J I is preceded
by a word, that word keeps the original final vowel
(■e, -i, -oil); the elif of the Article is not pronounced
but slurred over, and lam is connected with the last
vowel of the preceding word; as:
368 or ^rjz Lesson 53. r^A
<al <oUe-« *^S._:M u*\j resfi'l hikmeti mekhafetou Hlahi
the beginning of knowledge is the fear of the Lord.
*>1>J 1 SjXa i)jJuJl »*$& kelamtVl mulouki muloukd'l
Miami the words of kings are the kings of words.
<us\ J^k*. khalilou Hlahi the chosen friend of Good (Abraham).
Not Besu el hikmeti, mekhafetou allahi, kelamu elmulouki.
Note. The word <o>\ is contracted from Jl ethe', *}\ «7a/i god,
«J1 Jl = <u>l Allah the God.
§ 667. When the eK/" of the Article is absorbed
by the final vowel of the preceding word, the elision is
marked by the sign r^_, written over the elif and called
il^j v asZe 'union' ; because it unites the vowel with lam
directly; as: £[>Ul £){f ' z. -jC_i-l ^Ij '<u)l JJU- •
The Arabic Izafet and Compound Adjective.
§ 668. The Arabic Definite Article is used for the
following purposes:
I. To form the Arabic Izafet: as when an Arabic
noun is united with a second noun; the last letter of
the first vowel, being Nominative, has generally eotre
(-ou, -it) as its vowel (while it was esre [-i] in the
Persian system [§ 515]), and the second noun has the
article :
OC*j-U jj>l emiruH mumineen the commander of the believers.
j^cJil j^t abdfi'l Mejid the servant of the Most-Glorious.
»J^J-1 <J\j** mizanu'l harare the balance of warmth, thermo-
s .^ y meter.
o:>U-Jl jU daru's sa^adet the house of prosperity, i. e. the
^— Imperial Harem.
II. To form the Arabic Compound Adjective, formed
of a Participle (i. e. fayil, mefoul, adj. of Quality, N. of
Excess, [§§ 601—606]), and a Noun. The Participle
precedes the noun and ends with eotre (-it), while the
noun has the Article.
L— Jl j JaJsi\ (jJt*- khaliquH arzv&ssima the creator of earth
„ „„. 'y and of heaven.
r»-*-Jl 'lij veleeyu'n'niam protector of benevolence,
„s ./, f 1 > benefactor.

UV1 u^->^-*-* mefrouzou'l eda the performance of which
, „, - > . is assigned, incumbent, canonical (prayer).
j»'o Vl -**1 ekberftH ekiabir the great one of the greats.
Note. The word 0'^ is the Adj. of Quality of s^J?>L-
selatat domination, rule.
HI. To unite the nouns with the preposition. The
prepositions are voweled generally at the end with
mtun (-e, -a) and esre (-i); (see more in the next section):
v_-> bi- cby5: o\jJl ez-zat the person: ofiJ L bi'z-zat in person,
personally.
i>j oe?/we between: JJLi J el-milel the nations: Jill 1*j beyne'l
milel between the nations, international.
§ 669.
Notes. 1. All these examples end in Arabic with esre (-*),
being in the Genitive case and meaning of; as: Emir HI mihni-
neeni, Abdul mejidi, Dariis sea-deti, Veliyun niyami etc.
2. Surnames or patronymics in Arabic [^uli kunye] are
composed with the words ^j1 ebou father; A umm mother; ^\ '
// ibn, bin, (pi. ^ beni)\ jJj vete'd son; c-u 6mi£ daughter (§ 168).
The Arabs have the custom of calling the parents by the name
of their firstborn children; as: £>y\ ebou-Bekir the father of
Bekir, the surname of the first Caliph. ?r^j>} Ebulferaj the
father of Faraj, Abulfaragius. rJ^A ummu Kulsoum the mother
of Kulsoum, Mouhammed's youngest daughter, *L— ^| Ibni Sina
the son of Sina, Avicienna.
3. If the name of the person precedes the surname, then
elif is left out and ^ ben, bin is used. jJj veled is used for non-
Moslems; as: -oil jut ^ x+jz* Mouhammed ben AbdouUah"MouhsnDined
the son of Abdoullah. U^ :> jJj <-*~*x Yousouf veledi Zekerya Jo-
seph the son of Zechariah. y^\ ^ beni Ahmer the children of Ahmer.

§ 677. In writing, the use of pronouns in the
third person is avoided by repeating the noun for which
they stand accompanied by one of these words, which
all mean The same, the said, the above mentioned:
jyj* c Jyj-* ' jj&~~* ' tjpj* ' ^oV ' *-N J^"« mezbour, mezkur,
mestour, merqoum, moumayileyh, mushariUyh or musharun ileyh.
§ 678. Mezhir, mezbour, merqoum are used when
speaking of persons of inferior position. Moumayileyh
to the people of the middle class. MushariUyh is
applied to persons of high rank. When speaking of
inanimate objects mezbour and mestour are used.
§ 679. In case of a person first mentioned by
name, or by a common substantive, these words may
be used as substantives, or, — we might say — , as a kind
of Personal or Demonstrative Pronoun, in all the cases
of declension. But, in case of a thing, they must be
used as adjectives, repeated each time.
§ 680. The Persian Pronouns are rarely used in
such expressions. They are: <jr.1 een this ! i>\ an that !
a>- chi what ? ! jcu>- chend some ! a J>- Mod self, one's self; as :

The Arabic and Persian Adverbs.
8 681 The simple Arabic Adverbs are rarely used
in Ottoman, but the compound ones are very common.
These are made by the addition of a tenveen of ustun
together with an elif or te (-en, -ten § 48); as:
^t sharq east: \^ sharqen eastward.
o\i zat origin: 'ifli sateii originally, already.
eUi gfcifaJi lips: 'uUft sfc*/«&&* orally.
§ 682. There are two rules which govern the
pointing of tenveen of ustun1:
P a If the word ends in Umze (§ o90), or short elif
(§594), or servile he or te (§ 592), only a double wsfcm is put
at the end, provided that te and U (Cj ' . * *) must change
into round te (I ' S -*m) and short elif (£ -a) must
change into simple elif ( I -en) :
.\> je*a punishment: *1> jfo'yftl as a punishment.
^aa fc^j^ present: ^ Udiyi'Un as a gift.
1 Which is the sign of the Accusative case (§ 670).

<l.**^» mirhamit mercy: **~y merhameten kindly.
J*, man a meaning: ll»* marten in truth, virtually.
ol« madde material: iol* maddeten materially.
b. But if the final O be radical, or if the word
end with any other letter than those mentioned above,
an elif with double ustiin ( I -en) is added to the end ;
this elif is never pronounced:
izJtj* mouvaq'qat temporary: lli^. mouvaqqa'teti temporarily.

8 696 In the Arabic and Persian languages it
is customary to use two and even three words of the
same meaning (Kelimati Mutcradife) in the same sen-
tence to express one idea. This is considered one of the
beauties of the language. That was the case with the
old Ottoman literature too, in which the Turks imitated
this characteristic of the said languages.
But through contact with European languages and
their literature, the new generation of writers has begun
gradually to forsake the old wearisome system and to
i.* ) Synonymous Words. 401
adapt the use of simple and single words. Yet there
remain some instances of the old system, which hy
' the sanction of centuries have been stereotyped and
consolidated even in the common speech.
§ 697. The synonymous words are united together
by a J> which is generally pronounced ou, vu, not
ve. The shorter of the two comes first.
For instance, the Turkish word i^JU chalishalim
is expressed by ioJol *Ij5I j *^ say ou iqdam edelim,
or loJijl ZjJ& 3 {j^ say ou ghayret edelim: the words
ju*'u> ' pij^1 all meaning 'effort5; and the meaning
of the sentences is 'let us try'.
jjSjs jo lie j *^cAfl!l *-Jl»- jenabi Al'lahin Iceremou inayet

/o*U Uj\ j tal t^o deynimi 4da vu iy-fa eyledim I paid my
debts (3 is pronounced vu, after vowels).
The words _! Jt ! _| ^-^ both mean fto ask' and «J |M !
J ou\ mean Ho pay'.
iVbte. o?f is appended to the last syllable of the previous word.

°^ u^^ Lesson 59.
Euphonic Changes of the Letters.
A. Assimilation or *lol Idgham.
§ 700. Idgham is (the imposition of one letter
on another, or) the assimilation of one letter to another.
This occurs when two letters of the same kind have
come together. The imposition (or assimilation) always
takes place on the second letter, provided that the first
408 o\ u-J^ Lesson 59. *u*A
is quiescent (§ 42). The assimilation is denoted by a
shedde (") over the second letter; the quiescent letter
is marked by a jezma (°) [§ 45].
§ 701. There are four cases in which Idgham
occurs :
a. If the First of the double Homogeneous Letters
is quiescent, it is removed or imposed upon the second,
and the latter is doubled or marked with a shedde; as:
cJLi. millet: the first lam is quiescent: therefore it is omitted
and imposed on the second lam: and this imposition is indicated
b}r a shedde, which shows that the second lam is doubled thus:
^l\» mil' let.
o^As- hid'det 'anger': is written as oa>- hid' det.
jhs> ' Cjjeo davet, afv: the Obj. Part, of the measure J^IL.
is j^cu ' j j jLm medouv, mafouv; the first letter j is quiescent,
therefore imposed on the second j ; as: j~&J^ ' ji-i* medouv, mafouv.
There is no change in the pronunciation in either
instances.
b. If the First of the double Homogeneous Letters
is punctuated by a vowel, the vowel is cast back upon
the preceding letter and the letter itself imposed upon
the second:
J>U-l ikhlal to spoil: the remainder is Jli. (§ 634a): the
Subjective Participle is JJLsc. : the first of the double letters has
a vowel, the vowel is cast back upon the preceding letter: hence
JJlW^ moukh'-lil becomes Jiie* moukhill'; after the assimilation
" {' >
J.^. mon-Jchill'.
JuJii shedid severe: vSji-: the Noun of Superiority according
to the measure JJi| (§ 609) is ^JlL| esh'-ded: Remove the vowel
to the preceding: it is sxt) eshedd, after the assimilation Jitl
e-shedd 'severest'.
c. If the Preceding Letter already has a vowel,
or if it is an elif9 the vowel of the first letter cannot
be carried back to the preceding; therefore the vowel
of the first letter is omitted: and the letter itself is
placed over the second of the double homogeneous
letters :
<u^ Euphonic Changes of the Letters. 409
*\Xj\ irtidad apostasy (VIII of V SSj [§ 627]): the remainder
is :>jJj (§634 a): the Subj. Part, is u~l^ murte' -did : the first of
the double letters j> has a vowel: that vowel cannot be brought
back to the preceding o; because it already has a vowel: there-
fore the vowel of the first * is omitted: as sJ-lj-* miirtedd, and
the letter itself imposed upon or assimilated with the second
*: as JJ^-. mur-tedd' (vulg. mourtad, mirtad) apostate.
Note. In such cases the Objective Participle is the same with
Subj. Part, as: .aJ^* murteded = ^^j^« = ->^« miirtedd; but
the Obj. Part, of the measures Infiqal and Iftiqal is not used.
jjy murour to pass: \ j^»: according to the measure JJl*
the Subj. Part, is jjO ma-riv: the first of the double homogeneous
letters (j) has a vowel; but that vowel cannot be transported
to the preceding letter, because it is elif: therefore the vowel of the
first re is omitted as jjL« marr: and the letter itself assimilated
with the second re j: as jL. marr'.
d. If two elifs have come together, the first elif is
assimilated with the second: but the second elif, instead
of taking a shedde, has a medda placed over it (§§ 29 d,
39, 47, 603):
^.\ emr order: the Subj. Part, of the measure Jili is ^»\\
e-amir: the first elif is omitted and the second has medda; thus
^*\ a-mir commander. (j\Jl\ ityan to follow: \'j>'\: J.9 \i : J\\
e-a-ti = ii\ a-ti following.
Note. 1. All double homogeneous letters are not subject to
assimilation, there are exceptions; as: .i-L. mided help, JU» khalel
injury, jj*> zarar loss, v. - s6beb reason, v >l^:^\ iktitab copying.
2. The Subj. Part, of «> hajj 'pilgrimage' is t^»-U- = r- r^
hajj = r-U- hajj or j»»W» haji pilgrim [to Mecca (Stinni Moslems),
Jerusalem (Christians), Kerb&a (Persians) and Haji Be'ktash near
Kir-shehir (Qizilbashes)].

17. delicious. 18. love (love). 19. loss (loss). 20. joy (joy).
B. Modification of Letters. J}U JEelal.
§ 702. The letters ^ j I are called 'weak' or
'feeble5 letters (houroufou Met), and all the others are
called 'sound5 letters (houroufou sahihe) by the Arabs.
The weak letters cannot bear any burden or 'motion5
(vowel), as the sound letters can ; they cannot have any
vowel, they must be quiescent (§ 42). If in the formation
of words they should be in a position in which a vowel
would naturally be placed on them, were they 'sound5
letters, this vowel is removed or modified.
§ 703. The general principal of modification or
permutation of the weak letters is as follows:
When a vowel (-—) and a weak letter (gj I) which
is not analogous to it come together in a word, the
ordinary laws of euphony require that one should yield;
and in Arabic the vowel prevails.
Note. Elif is analogous to ustun, ye to fare and vav to
ebtre (§ 27).
•vt t

§ 704. The weak letters j and ^ require especial
consideration: the changes of I are not important.
§ 705. Modification of vav jlj J}U1
a. If vav has a vowel and the preceding letter is
quiescent, its vowel is transported to the preceding
letter ; as :

The Ottoman Literature.
In all literary matters the Ottoman Turks have
shown themselves a singularly uninventive people: the
two great schools, the old and the new, into which we
may divide their literature, being closely modelled, the
one upon the classics of Persia, the other on those of
Modern Europe, and more especially of France. The
old or Persian school flourished from the foundation of the
Empire down to about 1830, and still continues to drag
on a feeble existence, though it is now out of fashion
and cultivated by none of the leading men of letters.
These belong to the new or European school, which
sprang up some fifty or sixty years ago, and which, in
spite of the bitter opposition of the partisans of the old
Oriental system, has succeeded, partly through its own
inherent superiority and partly through the talents and
courage of its supporters, in expelling its rival from the
position of undisputed authority which it had occupied
for upwards of live hundred years. For the present
purpose it will be convenient to divide the old school into
three periods, which may be termed respectively the
pre-classical, the classical, and the post-classical. Of
these the first extends from the early days of the empire to
the accession of Suleyman I., 1301—1520 (A.H.700— 926);
the second from that event to the accession of MahmoudL,
1520—1730 (926—1143); and the third from that date
to the accession of Abd-ul-Aziz, 1730—1861 (1143—1277).
The works of the old school in all its periods are
entirely Persian in tone, sentiment, and form. We find
in them the same beauties and the same defects that
we observe in the productions of the Iranian authors.
The formal elegance and conventional grace, alike of
thought and of expression,' so characteristic of Persian
classical literature, pervade the works of the best Ottoman

writers, and they are likewise imbued, though in a less
degree, with that spirit of mysticism which runs through
so much of the poetry of Iran. But the Ottomans
did not stop here. In their romantic poems they chose
as subjects the favorite themes of their Persian masters,
such as Leyla and Mejnoun, Ferhad and Shirin,
Youssouf and Zuleykha, and so on. They constantly
alluded to Persian heroes whose stories occur in the
Shah-Name and other storehouses of Iranian legendary
lore; and they wrote their poems in Persian metres and
in Persian forms.1 The mesnevi, the qaside, and
the ghazel, — all of them, so far at least as the
Ottomans are concerned, Persian, — were the favorite
verse-forms of the old poets. A mesnevi is a poem
written in rhyming couplets, and is usually narrative
in subject. The qaside and the ghazel are both
monorhythmic; the first as a rule celebrates the praises
of some great man, while the second discourses of the
joys and woes of love. Why Persian rather than Arabian
or any other literature became the model of Ottoman
writers, is explained by the early history of the race.
Some two centuries before the arrival of the Turks in
Asia Minor, the Seljouks, then a mere horde of savages,
had overrun Persia, where they settled and adopted the
civilization of the people they had subdued. Thus
Persian became the language of their court and Govern-
ment, and when by and by they pushed their conquests
into Asia Minor, and founded there the Seljouk empire
of Rouin, they carried with them their Persian culture,
and diffused it among the peoples newly brought under
their sway. It was the descendants of those Persianized
Seljouks whom the early Ottomans found ruling in Asia
Minor on their arrival there. What had happened to
the Seljouks two centuries before, happened to the
Ottomans then: the less civilized race adopted the
culture of the more civilized. As the Seljouk empire
fell to pieces and the Ottoman came gradually to occupy
its place, the sons of men who had called themselves
Seljouks began thenceforth to look upon themselves as
Ottomans. Hence the vast majority of the people whom

we are accustomed to think of as Ottomans are so only
by adoption, being really the descendants of Seljouks
or Seljoukian subjects, who had derived from Persia
whatever they possessed of civilization or of literary
taste. An extraordinary love of precedent, the result
apparently of conscious want of original power, was
sufficient to keep their writers loyal to their early guide
for centuries, till at length the allegiance, though not
the fashion of it, has been changed in our own days,
and Paris has replaced Shiraz as the shrine towards
which the Ottoman scholar turns. While conspicuously
lacking in creative genius, the Ottomans have always
shown themselves possessed of receptive and assimilative
powers to a remarkable degree, the result being that
the number of their writers both in prose and verse is
enormous. It ought to be premised that the poetry of
the old school is greatly superior to the prose.
When we reach the reign of Mahmoud II., the
great transition period of Ottoman history, during which
the civilization of the West began to struggle in earnest
with that of the East, we find the change which was
coming over all things Turkish affecting literature along
with the rest, and preparing the way for the appearance
of the new school. The chief poets of the transition
are Fazil Bey, Vasif, notable for his not altogether
unhappy attempt to write verses in the spoken language
of the capital, Izzet Molla, Pertev Pasha, Akif
Pasha, and the poetesses Fitnet and Leyla. In the
works of all of these, although we occasionally discern
a hint of the new style, the old Persian manner is
still supreme.
More intimate relations with Western Europe and
a pretty general study of the French language and
literature, together with the steady progress of the
reforming tendency fairly started under Mahmoud II.,
have resulted in the birth of the New or Modern school,
whose objects are truth and simplicity. In the political
writings of Res hid and Akif Pashas we have the first
clear note of change; but the man to whom more than
to any other the new departure owes its success is
Shinasi Effendi, who employed it for poetry as well as
for prose. The European style, on its introduction,
<i.rr The Sultans of the House of Osuian. 423
encountered the most violent opposition, but now it
alone is used by living authors of repute. If any of
these does write a pamphlet in the old manner, it is
merely as a tour de force, or to prove to some faith-
ful but clamorous partisan of the Persian style that
it is not, as he supposes, lack of ability which causes
the modern author to adopt the simpler and more
natural fashion of the West. The whole tone, sentiment
and form of Ottoman literature have been revolutionized
by the new school : varieties of poetry hitherto unknown
have been adopted from Europe; an altogether new
branch of literature, the drama, has arisen; while the
sciences are now treated and seriouslv studied after the
system of the West.
Among writers of this school who have won dis-
tinction are Ziya Pasha, Jevdet Pasha: the states-
men and historians. Ahmed Midhat Effendi. Sami
Bey: the lexicographer and encyclopedist, Ebuz-Ziya
TeVfiq Bey, Mouallim Naji Effendi, Hamid Bey:
who holds the first place among Ottoman dramatists,
Mi bran Effendi: the grammarian, and Kemal Bey:
the leader of the modern school and one of the most
illustrious men of letters whom his country has produced.
He has written with conspicuous success in almost
every branch of literature, — history, romance, ethics,
poetry, and the drama. G.

pj^fr Arabic Calendar (pp. 96 — 98).
The Arabic, i. e. Lunar, Year being 10 days, 21 hours
and 142/5 seconds shorter than the Christian i. e. solar year,
does not correspond exactly with it. Its reckoning begins
from the Hijret or departure of Muhammed from Mecca
to reside in Medina, A. D. 622 July 15/19 (Mouharrem 1).
In order approximately to convert a year of our
Era into one of the Moslem Era: subtract 622, divide
the remainder by 33 and add the quotient to the divident.
Conversely, a year of the Moslem Era is converted
into one of the Christian Era by dividing it by 33,
subtracting the quotient from it, and adding 622 to
the remainder; as:

The Ottoman Financial Calendar.
In the 1205th year of the Hejira (x/i2 March 1789),
Sultan Selim III. issued an Irade to use this calendar
in financial and commercial transactions. It corresponds
exactly to the Old Style, only the new year begins in
March instead of in January. The following table shows

Parsing. Jj^ Tahleel.
The method of parsing in Arabic includes Gram-
matical and Logical Analysis. But in Ottoman-Turkish
all that is really necessary is to give such particulars
as are given in the subjoined parsing of a piece. The
genders, numbers, moods, tenses and all particulars about
the words must be mentioned, and the parts of Regular
and Irregular Verbs must be given. Read first with
expression the following Exercise, and analyse it after-
wards. Tarn up all references to the Grammar.

Educational Works and Glass-Books
Method Gtaspey-Otto-Sauer
FOR THE STUDY OF MODERN LANGUAGES*
PUBLISHED BY JULIUS GROOS, HEIDELBERG.
•With each newly-learnt language one wins a new soul.» Charles V'
«At the end of the 19th century the world is ruled hy the interest for
trade and traffic; it breaks through the harriers which separate
the peoples and ties up new relations between the nations. >
William II.
tfJulius Groos, Publisher, has for the last fifty years been devoting his
special attention to educational works on modern languages, and has published
a large number of class-books for the study of those modern languages most
generally spoken. In this particular department he is in our opinion unsur-
passed by any other German publisher. The series consists of 200 volumes
of different sizes which are all arranged on the same system, as is easily
seen by a glance at the grammars which so closely resemble one another,
that an acquaintance with one greatly facilitates the study of the others.
This is no small advantage in these exacting times when the knowledge of one
language alone is hardly deemed sufficient.
The textbooks of the Gaspey-Otto-Sauer method have, within the
last ten years, acquired an universal reputation, increasing in pro-
portion as a knowledge of living languages has become a necessity of modern
life. The chief advantages, by which they compare favorably with thousands
of similar books, are lowness of price and good appearance, the happy union
of theory and practice, the clear scientific basis of the grammar proper com-
bined with practical conversational exercises, and the system, here
conceived for the first time and consistently carried out, by which the pupil is
really taught to speak and write the foreign language.
The grammars are aU divided into two parts, commencing with a
systematic explanation of the rules for pronunciation, and are again sub-
divided into a number of Lessons, Each Part treats of the Parts of Speech
in succession, the first giving a rapid sketch of the fundamental rules, which
are explained more fully in the second.
The rules appear to us to be clearly given, they are explained by examples,
and the exercises are quite sufficient.
To this method is entirely due the enormous success with which the
Qaspey-Otto-Sauer textbooks have met; most other grammars either
content themselves with giving the theoretical exposition of the grammatical
forms and trouble the pupil with a confused mass of the most far-fetched
irregularities and exceptions without ever applying them, or go
Method Gaspey-Otto-Sauer
for the study of modern languages.
to the other extreme, and simply teach him to repeat in a parrot-
like manner a few colloquial phrases without letting him grasp the
real genius of the foreign language.
The system referred to is easily discoverable: 1. in the arrangement of
the grammar; 2. in the endeavour to enable the pupil to understand a
regular text as soon as possible, and above all to teach him to speak the
foreign language; this latter point was considered by the authors so particu-
larly characteristic of their works, that they have styled them — to distinguish
them from other works of a similar kind — Conversational Grammars,
The first series comprises manuals for the use of Englishmen and
consists of 38 volumes.
Our admiration for this rich collection of works, for the method dis*
played and the fertile genius of certain of the authors, is increased when we
examine the other series, which are intended for the use of foreigners.
In these works the chief difficulty under which several of the authors
have laboured, has been the necessity of teaching a language in a foreign
idiom; not to mention the peculiar difficulties which the German idiom offers
in writing school-books for the study of that language.
We must confess that for those persons who, from a practical point
of view, wish to learn a foreign language sufficiently well to enable them to
write and speak it with ease, the authors have set down the grammatical
rules in such a way, that it is equally easy to understand and to learn them.
Moreover, we cannot but commend the elegance and neatness of the type
and binding of the books. It is doubtless on this account too that these
volumes have been received with so much favour and that several have reached
such a large circulation.
We willingly testify that the whole collection gives proof of much care
and industry, both with regard to the aims it has in view and the way in

Method (xaspey-Otto-Sauer
for the study of modern languages.
«As long as Bellamy's "state of the future' is no fact yet, as long as
there are millionaries and Social Democrats, until every cobbler can step
on to the scene of his handicraft, fitted out with an academic education,
so long will private tuition be a necessity.
Since no pedagogic considerations fetter the private tutor, one should
think that the choice of a classbook could not be a difficult matter for him ;
for it is understood, and justly so, that any book is useful if only the
teacher is of any use. But the number of those who write grammars, from
the late respected Dr. Ahn down to those who merely write in order to
let their own small light shine is too large. Their aim, after all, is to
place the pupil as soon as possible on his own feet i. e. to render a teacher
superfluous, and to save time and money.
Then the saying holds good: «They shall be known by their works*,
and for that reason we say here a few words in favour of the books of the
Gaspey-Otto-Sauer Method which have been published by Mr. Julius Groos.
Valuable though these books have proved themselves to be for the
use at school, it is for private tuition that they are absolutely indispensable.
They just contain what I claim for such books, not too much and not too
little. The chapters of the various volumes are easily comprehended and
are arranged in such a way that they can well be mastered from one
lesson to the other; besides, the subject-matter is worked out so as to lead
the pupil from the commencement to converse in the foreign tongue.
What success these books have met with will best be seen from the ever
increasing number of their publications which comprise, in different groups re-
lating to Englishmen, Germaos, Frenchmen, Italians, Spaniards, Russians etc. etc.
not less than 160 works the following volumes of which I have successfully
used myself and am still using for the instruction of Germans : — the French
grammar (24th. edition), the English grammar (21'*. edition), the Spanish,
Italian, Dutch, and Russian grammars ; for English and French students : —
the German grammar, not to mention minor auxiliary works by the same firm.
It is surprising what splendid results one can obtain by means of this
method in a period of 6 to 12 months. After such a course the student
is enabled to instruct himself in commercial correspondence in a foreign
language without a master's helping hand.» ( )
